ozgurcankaya / Getty Images Allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies) occurs when an immune response to an allergen, like pollen, causes inflammation. This can lead to congestion in your sinuses. Because your sinuses are connected to your ears, inflammation can also lead to ear pain. Both seasonal and perennial allergies can cause ear pain. Seasonal allergies usually come and go based on pollen levels. Perennial allergies are more persistent, triggered by allergens such as pet dander or dust.

Seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis, hay fever) occur when your immune system has an overactive response to a type of substance called an allergen. Common seasonal allergens include tree pollen, grass pollen, mold, and ragweed (which releases pollen).
