A 18-year-old patient presents with sudden onset hearing loss in the right ear, noticed 30 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was normal before this episode. The patient reports a history of seasonal allergies. Otoscopic examination shows unobstructed external auditory canals and the right tympanic membrane appears mildly inwardly displaced but intact. Tuning fork testing demonstrates that sound is heard more prominently in the right ear when the fork is placed on the forehead, and air conduction is worse than bone conduction in the right ear. The patient denies focal neurologic symptoms, otalgia, dizziness, tinnitus, or vertigo. Vital signs are normal. The patient appears calm during the examination.
