A 43-year-old patient presents with abrupt onset hearing loss in the left ear, noticed 28 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was unchanged before this episode. Otoscopic examination shows unobstructed external auditory canals and the left tympanic membrane appears slightly retracted but intact. Tuning fork testing shows that sound is heard more prominently 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 vertigo, tinnitus, otalgia, focal neurologic symptoms, or dizziness. Vital signs are within normal limits. What is the best management at this time?
