Default 15 Year Old Yorkie - Blind, Confused

I have a 15 year old yorkie - who seems to be in great shape. We do believe he is almost blind and is hard of hearing. He still runs around like a puppy and seems happy most of the time. He has began having episodes where he appears to be disoriented - he goes around in circles, then hops like he is jumping off the sofa. He forgets that he has already done his nite time rituals and wants to do them over and over again. I love him to pieces and we consider him part of the family. We are debating taking him to the vet, since we know they will probably just tell us that he is old and this is part of the aging process. Is anyone else having issues like this with their aging yorkies? Like I stated earlier, most of the time he is happy, doesn't act like he is in pain. It does scare him during these episodes. We are going to starting restraining his access to the entire house, since we are afraid that he may hurt himself while we are at work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
