Sounds mask both preceding and following sounds in time

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)
