Abstract: The present study was undertaken to determine the role of several variables (signal duration, frequency, and noise intensity) in producing the masking-level difference (MLD). A further rationale was to suggest clarifying evidence for discrepancies reported in the literature regarding low frequency signals. MLD was defined as the difference between threshold (75-80% correct responses) values for two listening conditions. Both listening conditions consisted of binaural noise (NO) with either a monaural (SM) or binaural (SO) signal. The MLD (measured in dB) represented the difference obtained in a comparison between threshold values for NO SO and NO SM.
