Once speech is already clear, further clarity does not motivate clinic visits

Evidence

For the + 6 dB SNR reference condition, mean responses never significantly exceeded chance; furthermore, the function appears asymptotic, so the responses may not have exceeded chance regardless of the change in SNR. If the SNR is already relatively high enough to be clear, then making it clearer still does not appear to induce intervention-seeking behaviour. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5711

• QUESTION: Why is seeking intervention different from preference-judgment (swap) tasks at low ΔSNRs — and at what SNR does the motivation cliff truly sit?
