Is "with" a proper preposition in this sentence?

Hi,

is "with" a proper preposition in the below sentence?

"We finally compared the results of the speech intelligibility tests with the two models of earplugs. The results obtained revealed that there is a significant relationship between the mean values of speech intelligibility at S/N= -10, +10."


Thanks!

"with" is correct in itself, but the overall construction isn't ideal; it may appear as if the two things being compared are (i) the speech intelligibility tests and (ii) the two models of earplugs.
