“…This suggests that the amount of hearing impairment in the high-frequency regions might predict SRM. One way that listeners might use information in the high-frequency region of the speech stimuli to improve performance in the presence of speech maskers could be by using the frequent low-energy periods in high-frequency portions of the masker to “glimpse” the target ( Ahlstrom et al, 2014 ; Best et al, 2016 ; Best, Mason, Swaminathan, Roverud, & Kidd, 2017 ; Brungart & Iyer, 2012 ; Cooke, 2006 ; Glyde, Buccholz, Dillon, Best, et al, 2013 ). Other researchers have found that speech intelligibility can improve with access to high-frequency information, either for aided or unaided listeners ( Ahlstrom, Horwitz, & Dubno, 2009 ; Ahlstrom et al, 2014 ; Levy, Freed, Nilsson, Moore, & Puria, 2015 ; Moore, Füllgrabe, & Stone, 2010 ) and for both listeners with NH and with HI without hearing aids ( Jakien, Kampel, Gordon, & Gallun, 2017 ; Levy et al, 2015 ).…”
