Answer by Halema
slugs (check at nighttime with a flashlight)
earwigs (check under the mulch around your plant)
I had both. They were totally destroyed before I figured it out.

The Ohio State University Extension Office has a Fact Sheet on Hosta that is very informative also:

Slugs they love hostas and rhubarb. I use the beer in a lid deterrent.
