A 45-year-old patient presents with sudden onset hearing loss in the right ear, noticed 48 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 the right tympanic membrane appears mildly retracted 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, vertigo, otalgia, dizziness, or focal neurologic symptoms. Vital signs are within normal limits. The patient appears calm during the examination. What is the most appropriate management at this time?
