English: Off-frequency listening. Diagram A shows the auditory filter centred on the signal and how some of the masker falls within that filter, resulting in a low SNR. Diagram B shows a filter further along the basilar membrane, which is not centered on the signal but contains a substantial amount of that signal and less masker. This shift reduces the effect of the masker by increasing the SNR. Diagram adapted from Gelfand (2004)
