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.

Tip

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

The OTC Hearing Aid Sales report is a dedicated financial report that contains the data on OTC hearing aid sales, returns, exchanges, conversions (upgrades), and canceled orders.

The parameters below are named either by their label on the screen or by their default contents.
