Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query very carefully.

What he is experiencing seems to be related to gastrointestinal disorders.

If he was my patient I would recommend to do the following exainations to find out what is causing his symptoms:
- Blood work
- ABdominal ultrasound
- Upper Endoscopy
- Spine x ray
- Audiogram

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
