Variations in the slope of the psychometric functions for speech intelligibility: A systematic survey

A MacPherson, MA Akeroyd - Trends in hearing, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
Although many studies have looked at the effects of different listening conditions on the

Predicting speech intelligibility based on the signal-to-noise envelope power ratio after modulation-frequency selective processing

S Jørgensen, T Dau - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
