Ok thank God, I thought I was going crazy for a second. This is the rule I follow and I had a moment where I thought maybe I’d been wrong my entire life. Should be more confident.
Depends whether you pronounce the H or not. If the way you say it doesn’t differentiate between hero and 'ero then you could use ‘an’ but it’ll appear wrong to others who do pronounce a difference between the two.
isn’t “an hero” technically correct? It sounds weird, but it is not grammatically wrong.
What do you mean “not grammatically wrong” ?
“An” is used before words that start with a vowel sound.
An orange. A cop. An easter egg. A yeast overgrowth. An hour. A hero. etc.

Not unless you’re Dick Van Dyke doing cockney, it’s not.
