SoundScore: 5 Acoustic Dimensions

The card below displays five lab-measured metrics: speech clarity in quiet, speech clarity in noise, own-voice naturalness, feedback management, and streaming audio quality. The purple SoundScore graph is the overall result, and the five graphs after it break it into individual measurements for the selected fit. Each curve shows how scores are spread across all tested hearing aids, and the dot and number mark the score for Jabra Enhance Select 700.

Lab Assessment

How the Jabra Enhance Select 700 Performed in Independent Testing

The Jabra Enhance Select 700 is a premium-priced OTC hearing aid available at $1,795, earning a B grade with a SoundScore of 3.8/5 in our lab testing. This behind-the-ear device ranks #26 of 65 OTC hearing aids tested, placing it in the top 38% of the category.

In our testing, the Enhance Select 700 showed notable strengths in comfort-related metrics. Own-voice comfort scored a solid 3.7/5, measuring 1.19 points above the category average—a meaningful advantage for wearers sensitive to the sound of their own voice. Feedback handling was excellent at 5.0/5, well above the 4.54 category average, indicating reliable stability during typical wear.

Speech performance presented a mixed picture. Speech in quiet scored a solid 3.1/5, sitting 0.27 points above average. However, speech in noise was a weakness at 1.0/5, falling 0.48 points below the category average—an important consideration if challenging listening environments are a priority. Music streaming scored 2.5/5, which is above the category average by 0.58 points but only mixed in absolute terms.

At this price point, several alternatives delivered stronger overall performance in our testing, including the Lucid Tala (4.61/5) and Audicus Omni 2 (4.59/5). The Jabra Enhance Select 300 and Lucid Engage also achieved higher scores at lower prices. The Enhance Select 700 may suit those prioritizing own-voice comfort and feedback stability over speech-in-noise performance, but shoppers should weigh these trade-offs carefully given the premium pricing.

Test Documentation

Lab Notes for the Jabra Enhance Select 700 Evaluation

Review observations from both Initial and Tuned fit conditions along with the documented test configuration. The notes below detail fitting parameters and procedural context for this evaluation.

Lab Notes

Initial fit observations

With an open dome coupling and medium-power receiver, the Initial Fit achieved a normalized score of 3.8/5. Speech in quiet measured 2.8/5, while speech in noise scored 1.0/5. The standout metrics were excellent feedback handling at 5.0/5 and strong own-voice comfort at 4.3/5, suggesting good initial wearability with minimal adjustment. Music streaming scored 2.0/5 in this configuration. This out-of-box setup prioritizes comfort over maximum audibility.

Tuned fit observations

Moving to a tulip dome improved the normalized score slightly to 3.9/5, a gain of 0.1 points. Speech in quiet increased to 3.1/5, and music streaming improved to 2.5/5. Speech in noise remained unchanged at 1.0/5. Own-voice comfort decreased from 4.3/5 to 3.7/5 with the more occluding coupling, though feedback handling maintained its excellent 5.0/5 rating. The tuned configuration provides modestly better audibility with a small trade-off in own-voice comfort.
