Is it correct in English to use an an before words beginning with H or is this rule just for vowels?

It is generally correct to use "an" whenever it's followed immediately by a vowel sound whether a vowel or consonant is actually present, so in general "h" words are preceded by "a" since "h" is a consonant, although some speakers say "an historian" for instance. A ewe is correct because it's followed by a consonant sound ("y"). Similarly you would say "an SS Officer" because the indefinite article is followed by a vowel sound. Hope that's clear!
