How We Test

The Widex Moment is a premium prescription behind-the-ear hearing aid that earns an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.7/5 in HearAdvisor's lab testing, ranking #8 among 36 prescription hearing aids tested. Currently available at $3,398, it delivers strong overall performance that places it in the top 19% of its category.

In our testing, the Moment demonstrates particular strength in speech clarity for quiet environments, scoring 4.4/5—a full 1.05 points above the category average. Music streaming quality also impresses at 3.5/5, exceeding the category average by 0.86 points. Speech understanding in noisy environments scores 2.4/5, which is above the category average of 1.96/5 but mixed in absolute terms, reflecting the challenging nature of this listening scenario for hearing aids generally.

Feedback handling presents an interesting picture: the Moment scores a strong 4.0/5 in absolute terms, though this falls 0.71 points below the category average of 4.71/5. Own-voice comfort is solid at 3.0/5, slightly above the category average. The device uses rechargeable batteries and supports both iPhone and Android streaming with hands-free capability.

The Widex Moment is well-suited for listeners who prioritize natural sound quality in everyday conversations and music enjoyment. It competes in a crowded premium segment alongside devices like the Phonak Sphere Infinio and Oticon Intent, and has earned Expert's Choice Awards in both 2023 and 2024.
