Hi All, I'm looking for relevant MLD papers using a condition that may have not been looked at substantially. I've seen several papers that have measured MLDs for PURE TONES in the NmSm (noise and signal monaural) versus NuSm (Uncorrelated noise presented bilaterally and signal monaural) condition. We generally see no MLD in these conditions. Does anyone know of papers that have looked at this condition using SPEECH as the signal? Specifically, I'm looking for MLD papers that have measured both monaural speech in an ipsilateral noise and monaural speech in a dichotic noise. Any leads are greatly appreciated. Thanks Much, Ben Hornsby
