The price between intent and real would be the same in my scenario

A few thoughts here that might add to your thought process.
- There is compression on the MyMusic mode. The Moresound intelligence is turned off, as is the directionality but the Fine Tuning settings do have compression in them. I reprogrammed the MyMusic program to remove all compression and found that some gentle compression was a good thing (but less than in the original program). I also reprogrammed all the frequency settings so that MyMusic gives me music reproduction how I like it.
- I often use MyMusic as my main program when I am at home or watching TV (and always when listening to music). In a quiet situation it gives better all round sound reproduction (but bear in mind I have reprogrammed it).
- When outside or in a noisy situation, I use General or SiN.
- I have a custom version of the MyMusic program I am experimenting with so that I can listen to music in the car. The background noise is overwhelming with just MyMusic, so I have turned on the Moresound Intellegince in this version and am playing with those features to try to get good music reproduction with reduced background noise.

It is correct to say that the Genie 2 program used by Oticon aids does not give users any option to completely turn off compression in any of the programs, whether in the built-in or custom programs otherwise. You can play with the gains in Fine Tuning relative to each other to help minimize compression indirectly, but you simply cannot click a button to remove compression altogether.

After all your reply seems like clear dynamics would be the main feature that push me on buy intent 2 instead of intent 3 even if I use low noise suppression!
Right now I am trying it without even slightest gain on frequency near my loss even if Oticon HA calculated some gain (few db) around 1khz is that right for you?
Sorry, I have no idea what this question means.

I did it following your tips and right now sound a lot better than my music program.
I lowered noise suppression in general.
Regarding frequency compression on this mymusic program clone there is some other tips?

If by frequency compression, you mean frequency lowering, you have a sharp drop off point right after 1 KHz, and the lowest destination region for the lowered sounds is at 1.6 to 2.4 KHz, which is already at the bottom of the ski slope for you, so I don’t think the Oticon frequency lowering would help much with your loss. But if you’re curious and want to try it, it doesn’t hurt to make a copy of the General program and turn this on for the 2.4 configuration and do A/B comparison to see if you like it or not. If not, you can always keep using the default General program and remove the new program later when you visit your HCP next time.

Sometime if I speak loudly in a closed environment I can hear my voice thought the aid I have this moulds, is that the most open Oticon moulds?

The pic is kind of hard to see, but it does look like the open dome.
It is a power bass open there is something more open?
As far as I can tell, there’s open dome, bass dome with single or double vent, or the power dome. I’m not aware what a power bass dome is. The power dome is the most closed dome amongst the 3, the bass dome is semi open with either 1 or 2 small vent holes. The open dome is what it says, it’s the most open dome there is with plenty of large vent holes all around.
Right now I’ve settled with my audiologist with NNS set to minimum -2db and seems pretty good; I will try to disable it.
