The heading will need an id and tabindex=-1 then you can use javaScript to set focus to the location that you want when the results are returned. Most screen readers won't read the heading unless the user uses a read current line command since focus will be on that line. A tabindex of -1 makes something focusable while tabindex of 0 makes the item part of the tab ring.
