Showing $T^{-1} = T^*$ where T is matrix of normalized eigenvectors of Hermitian matrix

Let A be an nxn Hermitian matrix with n distinct eigenvalues and T be the matrix whose columns are normalized eigenvectors of A. I want to show that $T^{-1} = T^*$.
I know that the eigenvectors of A are mutually orthogonal, and since they are normalized, then they are orthonormal. Where do I proceed in showing that $T^{-1} = T^*$? Thanks.

Compute $TT^*$. Write $T = [t_1 t_2 cdots t_n]$.

Proof.
Let $T = begin{bmatrix}t_1 & cdots & t_n end{bmatrix}$, where $t_j$'s are $ntimes 1$ column matrices. Since $A$ is Hermitian with $n$ distinct eigenvalues, and $t_j$'s are normalized, ${t_j}_1^n$ satisfies $t_j^* t_k = delta_{j,k}$, thus
$$
T^* T = [t_j^* t_k]_{(j,k)=(1,1)}^{(n,n)} = [delta_{j,k}] = I.
