Default Hosta -- Hail Damage

Cut off the broken stems, at least, now.

If a leaf is ripped, trim the tattered dangling bits off. When
you get new foliage, trim the damaged leaves off.

Sometimes you can reshape a leaf with tip damage - trim it into a
sort of leaf-shape, just inside the damaged part.
