A device for testing for tinnitus by considering age, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: an input unit for receiving an examinee's age; a stimulating sound determination unit for determining, on the basis of the examinee's age, the amplitude of background noise to be used for a tinnitus test, and the duration of a silent gap; a stimulating sound generation unit for generating a first stimulating sound that includes pulse noise generated while the background noise continues, and a second stimulating sound that includes pulse noise generated while the background noise continues again after there is a silent gap up to the duration while the background noise continues; a GPI ratio measurement unit for measuring a gap pre-pulse inhibition (GPI) ratio, which is the ratio of a first amplitude between peaks of the examinee's auditory evoked potential waveform according to the first stimulating sound and a second amplitude between peaks of the examinee's auditory evoked potential waveform according to the second stimulating sound; and a determination unit for determining whether the examinee has tinnitus by comparing the GPI ratio with an age-specific normal GPI ratio corresponding to the examinee's age.
