Age is an indicator of how LONG it will take for your tinnitus to go away, it is NOT and indicator of whether or not it will go away at all.

It it's true that younger people (aged between 15 - 35) get rid of their tinnitus sooner than people who are older (36 +).  BUT, plenty of older people do, too silence their tinnitus. It just takes a few months more. So if you are aged 35 or older, don't worry, it will just take you a bit longer than those dang teenagers!

Gender does not play a significant role when we are looking to silence tinnitus. There are however some biological differences that need to be taken into consideration. For example, women have a larger thyroid gland and hence will need twice the Iodine compared to a man.

Also, men find it harder to talk about their feelings and so will need to break down that barrier and potentially join a men's group or start journaling every day.
