It's been a year and a half since i lost sense of taste and smell, at the time i had a really bad sinus infection but that was the last time i had a sinus infection. is my loss of smell and taste associated with sinus infection?

A severe paranasal sinus infection can result in a loss of smell which will also affect your sense of taste. Of course in this pandemic, Covid virus infection can do the same. Did you have any other symptoms of Covid? Hopefully your sense of smell will gradually return.
