Temporal processing precision helps only when words are easily audible

Evidence

Lastly, we showed an effect of individual differences in temporal processing on intelligibility, but this effect was limited to easily perceptible (high SNR) single words. Possibly, temporal information is most useful when the stimulus is clearly audible and no other semantic information is available. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1229
