The brand is Bernafon. Cost was about $900 per ear (I got the two separately, as it happened.)

Before that, I had a more expensive pair from a private audiologist, one recommended by my doctor. The audiologist was good and those hearing aids were good. I think the Costco experience is comparable and the hearing just as good, at about half the price.
