Allergy season: I suggest using Afrin nasal spray at night. Afrin will constrict the mucus membranes in your nose, sinuses, and especially the eustachian tubes, enabling you to ventilate your inner ears. Although prolonged use of Afrin is supposedly addictive, I think it's more important to be able to breath and clear your ears.
