Update: Since I notice that folks are still responding to this thread, I'm happy to report that I got another earmold with a 1mm vent, which is in the range tenkan suggested. Definitely has less "own voice" and walking/chewing is less thunderous. (Guess I was broken in with the non-vented earmold 🤣) Speech in noise is almost as good, and streaming is still good. Seems like the best of both worlds.
I saw some discussion about power domes. Custom molds are superior in speech in noise situations and streaming, and don't have the itchiness factor. Only downside with 1mm vent is "Own Voice", and walking/chewing are more noticeable. Perhaps going the route I did, where for 2 months, I had earmolds w/o a vent, then going to a small vent was a relief! Thanks again for everyone's help on the forum!
