Had a brain injury 5mths ago. lost sense of smell & some taste. occa'l vertigo. recently i ve ringing noise in my ear. what causes that pls?

Basal skull injury: The olfactory nerve endings located at the top of the nose are most commonly damaged in a head injury.This results in altered sense of smell..This in turn affects taste. Ringing in the ear results from damage to hearing parts in the skull base.
