A 59-year-old patient presents with sudden onset hearing loss in the right ear, noticed 27 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was at baseline before this episode. 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 greater than bone conduction in the right ear. The patient denies tinnitus, otalgia, focal neurologic symptoms, vertigo, or dizziness. The patient reports mild nasal congestion. Vital signs are within normal limits. The patient appears calm during the examination. What is the most appropriate management at this time?
