Brief Answer:
Possible Meniere disease.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you should go to visit an ENT doctor. Possibly she is having an issue with inner ear. Meniere disease can be a cause of these symptoms of things spinning around, dizziness instability and hearing problems.
The treatment consists of corticosteroids, vitamin B complex, betahistine, a low salt diet etc.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
