Hello
For a systematic review of 29 speech-in-noise studies and effects (or not) of musical training you can look at:
Coffey, E. B., Mogilever, N. B., & Zatorre, R. J. (2017). Speech-in-noise perception in musicians: A review. Hearing research, 352, 49-69.
Since then we have done a couple more studies that did find an effect of musical training (sorry).
Specifically, we found that greater amount of musical training was associated with better neural tracking of the amplitude envelope of both the target and the to-be-ignored speech in a selective attention task (this was a surprise but it's what we observed):
Puschmann, S., Baillet, S., & Zatorre, R. J. (2019). Musicians at the cocktail party: neural substrates of musical training during selective listening in multispeaker situations. Cerebral Cortex, 29(8), 3253-3265.
We also observed music-training enhancement of both speech-in-noise and of a novel music-in-noise task in this paper:
Coffey, E. B., Arseneau-Bruneau, I., Zhang, X., & Zatorre, R. J. (2019). The Music-In-Noise Task (MINT): a tool for dissecting complex auditory perception. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 13, 199.
Good luck with your research

Sent: August 13, 2020 12:27 PM To: AUDITORY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <AUDITORY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Papers on lack of effect of musical training Dear everyone,
I'm currently conducting a literature review on the transfer of musical expertise onto other domains of cognition, as part of a paper where I compare musicians with sound engineers across a number of behavioural tasks, i.e. psychophysics, auditory
scene analysis, sustained selective attention, and speech in noise perception.
I am specifically interested in papers that failed to detect an association between musicianship and any of these dimensions, which are surprisingly (or unsurprisingly?) very hard to find via canonical search engines.
Would anyone know of any recent papers that might fit into this category?
I’m only aware of the mixed literature on speech in noise perception (see refs below).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Francesco
