How We Test

The Widex Moment is a premium prescription behind-the-ear hearing aid currently available at $3,398. In HearAdvisor's lab testing, it earned an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.32/5, ranking #10 among 35 prescription hearing aids tested.

This device demonstrates notable strengths in speech understanding. Speech in quiet scores a strong 4.1/5, which is 0.67 points above the category average. Speech in noise measures 2.7/5—above the category average by 1.17 points, though only mixed in absolute terms. Music streaming is a highlight at 3.5/5, sitting 0.89 points above average, making it a solid choice for users who value audio quality beyond speech.

Own-voice comfort scores a solid 3.0/5, slightly above the category average. Feedback handling registers at 4.0/5, which is strong in absolute terms, though 0.74 points below the category average—still more than adequate for most users. The device uses closed vented domes and supports rechargeable batteries, iPhone and Android streaming, and hands-free calling.

The Widex Moment suits users seeking dependable speech clarity and above-average music streaming from a premium prescription device. While some competitors in this price range score higher overall, the Moment's consistent performance across metrics and its Expert's Choice Award recognition in 2023 and 2024 reflect its well-rounded capabilities.
