One suspect..do you have pine trees near? the needles fall or blow and go through leaves. We sure see it in Ga., though most people don't make the connection.
Jan, my guess is the holes are coming from slugs. The are notorious for eating hostas. I heard putting finely crushed eggshells around the hostas will help. The slugs will not want to crawl over it. You can also use crushed sea shells.
Slugs
Around the base of the hosta. This will prevent the slugs (assuming slugs are the problem) from getting to the leaves.
