A 29-year-old patient presents with sudden onset hearing loss in the right ear, noticed 63 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was normal before this change. Otoscopic examination shows unobstructed external auditory canals and the right tympanic membrane appears slightly retracted but intact. 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 worse than bone conduction in the right ear. The patient denies dizziness, vertigo, otalgia, focal neurologic symptoms, or tinnitus. The patient reports mild nasal congestion. Vital signs are within normal limits. The patient appears calm during the examination. What is the most appropriate management at this time?
