Not sure what exact bearing are in your headset but almost always the bearings can be simply replaced rather than getting a new headset.

If you have caged bearings then simply replace with same size loose balls. Fill the cup fully with balls and remove 1 then reassemble the headset with lots of grease.

If you have cartridge bearings then take them out and have a look on the side of a bearing number. Then go your local bearing shop or online to find a replacement. If there are no numbers then you can search online using the inner and outer diameter and the height measurements.
