Sea-Sickness
Sir,—The disclosure that the children from the School for the, Deaf at Sumner were less affected by sickness than other passengers on the Maori during her 26 hours ordeal poses an interesting question which only the medical profession can answer. We have always been told that stomachic imbalance which leads to sea-sickness begins in the ears, though with no indication to reveal the process of which it is the end result It would be interesting to know from an authoritative source whether some aural blockage or inherent disability walls off the threat of sea-sickness, and whether it could be turned to account or artificially induced for sufferers.—Yours, etc., I.S.T. May 9,1969.
