The optimal threshold for removing noise from speech is similar across normal and impaired hearing-a time-frequency masking study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hearing-impaired listeners' intolerance to background noise during speech perception is well known. The current study employed speech materials free of ceiling effects to reveal the optimal trade-off between rejecting noise and retaining speech during time-frequency masking. This relative criterion value (-7 dB) was found to hold across noise types that differ in acoustic spectro-temporal complexity. It was also found that listeners with hearing impairment and those with normal hearing performed optimally at this same value, suggesting no true noise intolerance once time-frequency units containing speech are extracted.
