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.

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.

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