I have produced a CD with a series of such simulations.  See:

http://hearing.psychol.cam.ac.uk/Biogs/cd.html

The software used is described in:

Baer, T., and Moore, B. C. J. (1993). "Effects of spectral smearing on the
intelligibility of sentences in the presence of noise," J. Acoust. Soc. Am.
94, 1229-1241.
Moore, B. C. J., and Glasberg, B. R. (1993). "Simulation of the effects of
loudness recruitment and threshold elevation on the intelligibility of
speech in quiet and in a background of speech," J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 94,
2050-2062.
Nejime, Y., and Moore, B. C. J. (1997). "Simulation of the effect of
threshold elevation and loudness recruitment combined with reduced
frequency selectivity on the intelligibility of speech in noise.," J.
Acoust. Soc. Am. 102, 603-615.
