A 78-year-old patient presents with sudden onset hearing loss in the right ear, noticed 27 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was normal before this change. The patient reports a history of seasonal allergies. Otoscopic examination shows unobstructed external auditory canals and intact, normal-appearing tympanic membranes on both sides. Tuning fork testing shows that sound is heard louder in the left ear when the fork is placed on the forehead, and air conduction is greater than bone conduction in the right ear. The patient denies dizziness, tinnitus, focal neurologic symptoms, vertigo, or otalgia. Vital signs are within normal limits. What is the best management at this time?
