I've heard the letter "H" is silent in "Herb" when it is pronounced by a US English speaker, Americans pronounce it like "erb", is that correct? But while looking for a pronunciation video on YouTube, I came across a video in which an American speaker is pronouncing "H". The video shows the difference between American and Australian pronunciation of the word "Herb". In Australian version the letter "r" is pretty much silent.
Here is the link to the video.

Should I conclude that because of variety of dialects spoken in the USA, "H" sound is also acceptable in some regions?
