Hello, For those using BT headsets on their Macs, something that might help in this situation is to go into Voiceover utility, under sound, and make sure Voiceover output is set to default output. Sometimes, I've seen this setting set to the bluetooth device for some reason. In theory at least, you shouldn't loose speech if default output is set in the case of you losing connection with your bluetooth headset.
