Thank goodness that Hosta are a very hardy plant otherwise we wouldn't have a one. They're one of my bestest favorites too with so many varieties to choose from. I'd guess we have over 15 different kinds throughout or yard.
The hostas we have along the back yard are prime targets of the deer, who appear to love them as much as I do but in a dinner kinda way. They do a number on them year after year eating them to the ground. The ones in the deer 'safe' zones, and the ones that proudly display their leaves, are victims to another pest, the slug UGG!
The slugs eat the leaves, same as the deer, just at a slower pace.
Here's an example of deer damage -

They've both worn their welcome out at the ole homestead!
