A 21-year-old patient presents with abrupt onset hearing loss in the left ear, noticed 31 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was normal before this episode. Otoscopic examination shows clear external auditory canals and intact, normal-appearing tympanic membranes on both sides. Tuning fork testing shows that sound is heard more prominently in the right ear when the fork is placed on the forehead, and air conduction is greater than bone conduction in the left ear. The patient denies tinnitus, focal neurologic symptoms, otalgia, vertigo, or dizziness. Vital signs are within normal limits. What is the most appropriate management at this time?

A 41-year-old patient presents with sudden onset hearing loss in the right ear, noticed 54 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was unchanged before this onset. Otoscopic examination shows clear external auditory canals and intact, normal-appearing tympanic membranes bilaterally. 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 better than bone conduction in the right ear. The patient denies otalgia, focal neurologic symptoms, dizziness, tinnitus, or vertigo. Vital signs are within normal limits. What is the most appropriate management at this time?
