don't use any electronic options currenty. Plan to use the EP-4 and EP-7 with the plugs as it seems to be the best ive found for comfort and use with a hat. Can't get over how I cant hear while they're in though and obviously need them to be in my ears at all times. Anyone have recommendations based of experience with low profile electronic ear pro?
 
Picked these up as some swag a while back at a match.
Could be the answer for your criteria.

If you don't mind the more traditional ear muff type, there are some great low profile ones that have really good hearing enhancement as well.
I like the ones that don't cut off on noise, but just have a noise limiter, most of the better Peltor ones do that.
 
I have the Walker XV's. The coated flat wires get a little annoying at times if you move your head a lot (I stalk hunt) but other than that the amplifier works well and it keeps me from going deaf with my 300wm. They also Bluetooth to your phone if you want to use them for things other than hunting.
 
I have the Sound Gear custom fit electronic plugs. They are expensive, but really worth the cost. You have to go to an audiologist to get fitted. They basically fill up your ear canal with some foam that hardens into a mold. They'll send off to get made and get back a week or so later. I had to go back in to shave a little bit off in order to get them to fit comfortably.

Since then I've loved them. They use hearing aid batteries as well, and only last about a week. That is kind of annoying, but other than that they are pretty cool.
