A 45-year-old woman with a 3-month history of tinnitus and unilateral hearing loss undergoes audiometry. The results show sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) with air conduction thresholds of 50 dB HL at 1 kHz, 55 dB HL at 2 kHz, and 60 dB HL at 4 kHz. Bone conduction thresholds are within normal limits (10 dB HL). The Weber test lateralizes to the left (normal-hearing) ear. What is the most appropriate next step in management?
