I live in PA and this allergy season has been the worse ever. I have been so screwed up for the last month. My advice to anyone planning on visiting on PA is don't come, stay where you are and come when it gets much colder and allergy season is over! If you're already here, good luck! If you don't have allergies, you probably wouldn't understand. If you do have allergies, I feel your pain.

Oh yeah, and the full/congested feeling you are talking about and the tinnitus, yep, the hissing is what I have too, does get worse with the allergies, at least it does with me. And also, I do get the pain in my affected ear but it doesn't stay very long. I also get a very tickly feeling in that ear at times, almost like a bug is crawling around in my ear and it drives me crazy. I've always been afraid that a bug would go in my ear and I wouldn't know it because I can't really feel alot on that side like I can on my good side and I definitely would not hear anything buzzing around my ear since I am deaf on the right. Freaks me out sometimes!
