What is a EH-Number™?

Question

_{This is in the spirit of the What is a number/Phrase™ series started by JLee with a special brand of Phrase™ and Number™ puzzles.}

If a number conforms to a special rule, I call it an EH-number™.
If a number does not conform to the rule, I call it an OH-number™

Use the following examples below to find the rule:

EH-numbers™	OH-numbers™
8	4
588	234
4556	4557
1233	1234
7961	0998
45635	45636
34567	93456
8656783	8656784
2534534	2534535
8359081	8359089
8359082	8359080

CSV version:

EH-numbers™, OH-numbers™
8,         4
588,       234
4556,      4557
1233,      1234
7961,      0998
45635,     45636
34567,     93456
8656783,   8656784
2534534,   2534535
8359081,   8359089
8359082,   8359080

Does having a 0 at the front of 0998 change the eh-iness or the oh-iness of the number? — boboquack, Oct 27 '16 at 08:40
Somebody tell me I'm not the only one to read the question and immediately think "Hip hop hurr-EH! OH! EH! OH!" — Kevin, Oct 27 '16 at 18:33

My first guess:

An EH-number has an even number of holes and an OH-number has an odd number of holes.

EH and OH stand for:

Even-holed and Odd-holed

Tip for future (assuming the answer is correct):

The font used in the CSV makes a 0 look like it has 2-holes, not the intended 1 (which by counting I think you wanted). Also, 9980 may have been better than 0998, it looks unsuspicious.

+1 Not sure if this is the expected answer, but it checks out. good job. Also, he probably made the numbers suspicious on purpose to give hints. – stack reader Oct 27 '16 at 08:51
