On the basis of the results from Yoon et al. (2012), the hypothesized impact of the envelope DR mismatch on the squelch effect is that the mismatch would have a negative impact on the squelch effect because the squelch effect might require similar speech information from the two ears for central processing.

Etymology
Squelch in electronics uses the same idea of 'making quiet by force' and became the name for a control that cuts out weak noise. So the squelch setting 'silences' background static and stops the speaker when the signal is too low.
