[AUDITORY] converting masking thresholds to masker levels of speech sounds



Dear All,
 
I am trying to convert masking curves into the frequency responses of the original maskers (single speech sounds). The maskees I am using are narrow band noises at different frequencies.
 
It has taken me enormous effort to find an auditory model to make accurate predictions, considering the maskers are complex tones with multiple harmonics in high frequency region. Might anyone provide some guidance or advice on finding a suitable model? 
 
Is it even possible to do such prediction knowing only the frequency responses of the maskees and the masking thresholds given that temporal effects would inevitably appear because of the higher harmonics in human speech sounds? Any opinions?
 
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
 
Best Regards,
Mengli
