A 70-year-old patient presents with abrupt onset hearing loss in the left ear, noticed 36 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was normal before this onset. Otoscopic examination shows clear external auditory canals and the left tympanic membrane appears mildly retracted but intact. Tuning fork testing demonstrates 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 otalgia, tinnitus, focal neurologic symptoms, vertigo, or dizziness. The patient reports mild nasal congestion. Vital signs are normal. What is the best management at this time?

The patient reports a history of seasonal allergies. Otoscopic examination shows clear 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 tinnitus, otalgia, focal neurologic symptoms, vertigo, or dizziness. Vital signs are normal. What is the most appropriate management at this time?
- conductive and not senso and not SNHL
