Joe Clark already posted a link to a > collection of information about this. It is worthwhile reading. That's not exactly accurate. It's not quite as simple as Joe makes it out to be. Whether an element with such styling is read also depends on how the style is applied. It is safe to say that display: none can be used to always hide content from aural rendering (in JAWS, Window-Eyes, and HPR anyway), but not that using display:none any way you please will accomplish this.
