Fit Conditions
Initial and Tuned Performance for the Enhance Select 200
We tested this Jabra model in both Initial and Tuned fit conditions to document how app-based adjustments affect amplification. The summaries below describe measured outcomes for each configuration.
With an open dome coupling, the Jabra Enhance Select 200 achieves a normalized Initial Score of 4.1/5 in our testing. Speech in quiet performs strongly at 3.9/5, while own-voice comfort is excellent at 4.5/5—likely making first-time wear quite natural-sounding. Speech in noise is limited at 1.5/5, and music streaming measures 1.7/5 in this configuration. Feedback handling remains strong at 4.0/5. This initial fit prioritizes comfort and natural sound quality over maximum audibility.
What is HearAdvisor's Initial Fit?
The Initial Fit approximates the most likely settings and eartips for a typical moderate hearing loss. Results are measured across the same 72 acoustic scenes in our custom-built lab, then scored on a 5-star scale using an auditory model.
