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.
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.
isn’t “an hero” technically correct? It sounds weird, but it is not grammatically wrong.
Not unless you’re Dick Van Dyke doing cockney, it’s not.

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.
