Head Injury?

I got a concussion 8/9 months ago, hit the back of my head and was bleeding from my ears. I lost my sense of taste and smell. I still haven't gotten my taste/smell back, I get headaches and I had a minute seizure a couple days ago.

It is unlikely that you will have a return of smell. When your head was hit, some of the nerves that permit the sense of smell were damaged. I would recommend you see your neurologist for any seizures or headaches.
