A 34-year-old patient presents with abrupt onset hearing loss in the left ear, noticed 68 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was unchanged before this change. The patient reports a history of seasonal allergies. Otoscopic examination shows clear external auditory canals and the left tympanic membrane appears mildly inwardly displaced but intact. Tuning fork testing demonstrates that sound is heard louder in the left ear when the fork is placed on the forehead, and air conduction is worse than bone conduction in the left ear. The patient denies tinnitus, focal neurologic symptoms, dizziness, otalgia, or vertigo. Vital signs are normal. What is the most appropriate management at this time?
