OTC Reports
Sycle contains two reports dedicated to OTC hearing aids: the OTC Hearing Aid Sales Report and the OTC HA Patient List.
Other reports in Sycle include OTC hearing aid data in various ways, such as including OTC hearing aid sales data in total sales amounts or by showing OTC hearing aid data in separate columns. OTC data in these reports is summarized in OTC Data in Other Reports.

Upgrades (from OTC to prescription hearing aids) are shown in reports as conversions.
