BMLD detection advantages may operate at spectro-temporal unit level, not just per frequency band.

Evidence

We will therefore consider BMLD effects at the level of spectro-temporal regions rather than frequency channels. Thus we extend the original hypothesis and postulate that a BMLD effect might take place at the level of individual spectro-temporal units and that this detection advantage would be responsible for the spatially improved speech intelligibility. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1620

• QUESTION: Worth checking whether later hearing models (e.g. EC/Glimm models) have validated per-time-slice BMLD assumptions against speech interferers rather than stationary noise.
