A 74-year-old patient presents with abrupt onset hearing loss in the left ear, noticed 25 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was normal before this onset. The patient reports a history of seasonal allergies. Otoscopic examination shows clear external auditory canals and intact, normal-appearing tympanic membranes on both sides. Tuning fork testing shows that sound is heard louder in the right ear when the fork is placed on the forehead, and air conduction is better than bone conduction in the left ear. The patient denies focal neurologic symptoms, otalgia, dizziness, vertigo, or tinnitus. Vital signs are within normal limits. What is the most appropriate management at this time?
