A 26-year-old patient presents with sudden onset hearing loss in the right ear, noticed 33 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was normal before this episode. Otoscopic examination shows clear external auditory canals and the right tympanic membrane appears mildly inwardly displaced but intact. Tuning fork testing shows 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 tinnitus, dizziness, focal neurologic symptoms, vertigo, or otalgia. Vital signs are normal. The patient appears calm during the examination. What is the best management at this time?

A 70-year-old patient presents with sudden onset hearing loss in the right ear, noticed 62 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was at baseline before this onset. Otoscopic examination shows clear external auditory canals and the right tympanic membrane appears subtly retracted 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 otalgia, tinnitus, focal neurologic symptoms, vertigo, or dizziness. Vital signs are normal. The patient appears calm during the examination. What is the most appropriate management at this time?
- conductive and not senso and not SNHL
