A 72-year-old patient presents with abrupt onset hearing loss in the left ear, noticed 68 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was at baseline before this change. Otoscopic examination shows clear external auditory canals and the left tympanic membrane appears slightly retracted but intact. Tuning fork testing shows that sound is heard more prominently in the left ear when the fork is placed on the forehead, and air conduction is worse than bone conduction in the left ear. The patient denies vertigo, dizziness, otalgia, tinnitus, or focal neurologic symptoms. The patient reports mild nasal congestion. Vital signs are within normal limits.
