The Widex Moment SmartRIC delivers excellent speech clarity in quiet environments, making it a strong choice for conversation-focused listeners.
Top 34% of Prescription Hearing AidFive lab-measured metrics capture speech clarity in quiet, speech understanding in noise, own-voice naturalness, feedback management, and music streaming fidelity. 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 Widex Moment SmartRIC.
Every hearing aid is lab-tested in two states — as it sounds out of the box, and after professional tuning. Switch fits to update the five metric graphs below.
How clearly speech comes through in calm, one-on-one surroundings.
Speech understanding against loud background noise — the toughest everyday test.
How natural your own voice sounds while wearing the aids, without a boomy, plugged-up quality.
Sound quality of music streamed to the hearing aids over Bluetooth.
Resistance to the whistling and squealing caused by acoustic feedback.
Lab Assessment
Quality data starts with quality recordings. HearAdvisor worked with GRAS to build a no-compromise front end so every test is repeatable and reliable.
Amplification Analysis
The graph below shows how much amplification this hearing aid delivers across frequencies compared to validated prescriptive targets. Closer alignment with the target curve generally indicates more appropriate gain for the fitted hearing-loss profile.
Audio Samples
These recordings capture what the hearing aid delivers to the ear canal in controlled lab conditions. Compare them to the unaided reference to hear how the device processes speech and environmental sounds.
How this hearing aid sounds in our lab scenes. Compare it out of the box and after professional tuning.

Test Documentation
Our technicians documented observations from both Initial and Tuned fit conditions during testing. Below you can review the specific settings and fitting parameters used in our measurement protocol.
In initial fit testing, the Widex Moment SmartRIC achieved a normalized score of 4.4/5. Speech in quiet scored 3.4/5, while speech in noise scored 2.0/5. Feedback handling was excellent at 5.0/5, and own-voice comfort measured 3.7/5. Music streaming quality was solid at 3.4/5. The initial fit configuration delivered strong feedback stability out of the box while providing reasonable speech clarity for everyday listening situations.
After professional tuning, the Widex Moment SmartRIC improved to a normalized score of 4.7/5, a 0.4-point gain from initial fit. Speech in quiet jumped significantly to an excellent 4.7/5, and speech in noise improved to 2.6/5. Feedback handling decreased to 3.5/5, likely reflecting tradeoffs made to optimize audibility. Own-voice comfort remained steady at 3.7/5, while music streaming measured 3.1/5. The tuned configuration notably enhanced speech clarity while maintaining solid overall performance.
