The present study thus aimed at evaluating the otolith functioning in individuals with motion sickness. Cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials were recorded from 30 individuals with motion sickness, 30 professional drivers and 30 healthy individuals. The results revealed no significant difference in latencies and amplitudes between the groups (p>0.05). Nonetheless, thresholds were significantly elevated and inter-aural asymmetry ratio significantly higher in motion sickness susceptible group (p < 0.001) for both the potentials. All the individuals in the motion sickness group had high asymmetry ratio at least on one of the two potentials. Thus, reduced response and/or asymmetric otolithic function seem the likely reasons behind motion sickness susceptibility.  acervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential; motion sickness; ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential; otolith.  aPreeti Pandey  aSoumya Mahesh  aErgonomics  uhttps://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2014.952683  cFJASyFJAS  c17636d17636
