Electret Condenser Element Question

I have an electret element capsule with the following parameters;
Sensitivity: -56dB V/ubar, -36dB V/Pascal +/-4dB.
I'm looking for a different element that has better sensitivity. Should i
look for numbers that are higher or lower than the
above? Will be using this for voice frequencies only. Thanks.

Lower negative numbers. For example, a mic with a sensitivity of
-50dB/ľbar will have twice the output voltage than a mic with a
sensitivity of -56dB/ľbar for the same SPL in.
