A 48-year-old patient presents with abrupt onset hearing loss in the left ear, noticed 49 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was unchanged before this onset. The patient reports a history of seasonal allergies. Otoscopic examination shows unobstructed external auditory canals and intact, normal-appearing tympanic membranes on both sides. 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 greater than bone conduction in the left ear. The patient denies dizziness, otalgia, focal neurologic symptoms, vertigo, or tinnitus. The patient reports mild nasal congestion. Vital signs are within normal limits. What is the most appropriate management at this time?
