You need to get an audiometry done

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have carefully gone through the details provided. At your age, various degenerative processed lead to various problems. Degenerative changes in the inner ear (organ of hearing) may lead to sensori-neural hearing loss which may be associated with the symptoms that you present with. I would suggest you to get an audiometry done. You can share the reports with me using the facility on the upper right of this page and I would be happy to help you further.
Vestibulocochlear stabilizers (a type of medicine) like betahistine might be helpful and can be taken but you need to confirm with the reports with an ENT doctor first.
