Forward masking persists up to 200 ms after the masker ends

Evidence

In addition, ΔSRT for the dip conditions is larger than ΔSRT for constant conditions for all of the hearing impairment simulations. This difference in difficulty could be the result of forward masking since the gap between offset of the first syllable and the onset of the target syllable is less than 100 ms, and the third syllable limits any post processing of the second syllable. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4045 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)

Because post masking lasts much longer than premasking, these differences are to be expected. For a modulation frequency of 8 Hz, this effect becomes more pronounced leading to differences of almost 20 dB in masked threshold for the positions indicated by “2” and “6” at lower critical-band rates. The difference is not as large at higher critical-band rates because of the relatively shallow upper slope of the masking pattern. — Professor Dr.-Ing. Hugo Fastl, Professor Dr.-Ing.
