Wow! Sorry to hear about that!
To put things in perspective, I too hit my head in October of 2013. My injury was not nearly as serious as yours, and yet I am still having problems on occasion. I get tired very easily, even doing simple things like cooking and putting away laundry, and I cannot work out as much as I like to because it causes headaches when I get carried away.
I say all of that to say this: if I'm still experiencing problems at two months out, and my injury wasn't as bad as yours, then what you are describing may very well be normal for someone two months out of an injury like yours.
Can you focus on finding work-arounds for your symptom triggers? That angle that causes the dizziness... is it necessary? For the loud noises, have you tried ear plugs?
I hope you see improvement on these symptoms soon.
