Hmm … http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#hidden seems to be specified as equivalent to visibility: hidden, a property that theoreticallyshouldn't affect speech rendering but does (accidentally) hide content from screen readers. It doesn't say anything about display: none;.
I know that everyone already knows this, but I think a reminder might be timely: Be careful not to confuse screen readers, who's job it is to read what is displayed on the screen, with a voice browser, who's job it is to parse a HTML document into a DOM tree and apply media-less and aural CSS (and potentially never display anything on screen).
visibility: hidden and display: none should both hide content from screen readers.
