You've got the wrong end of it here. When you flip the privacy switch on the side of your iPhone, it kills all sound going to the main speaker but not to the Bluetooth ear peace. If your Bluetooth ear peace is fully charged, they usually last up to a week on stand by and offer up to 8 hours of continuous talk time so you have nothing to worry about.
I'm the president of our home owner's association here and we don't permit cell phone use unless you are using an ear peace and then you must leave the meeting board room. I've just gotten so use to wearing my Bluetooth ear peace that I don't even notice any more. I like using it because it keeps my hands free when using my dog guide or cane. Note: any incoming call you get just goes to the ear peace. They have a volume control on them so you can set it to what ever comfort level you want but if your expecting them to be like ear phones for listening to music, it's not going to happen. Using a Bluetooth ear peace is like holding a phone to your ear. It has a built-in microphone to pick up your voice and the ear part to hear your caller. Some other apps work better if you use a Bluetooth ear peace such as Dragon dictate. Many games as well will switch the audio to a connected Bluetooth ear peace. They come in all price ranges from about 10 dollars up to several hundred dollars. The better the ear peace, in general, the better they are at blocking out noise caused from wind blowing into the microphone when walking outdoors on a windy day.

I am using a motorola hx550 headset (one ear). I really like it. However, in church and other really public situations where interruptions wouldn't be appropriate, I am still using my iPhone earpods. i would like to go completely bluetooth but I am wondering about the following: (1) Is it likely that the bluetooth might go down in the middle of something so that I would suddenly find my iPhone talking for everybody to hear? (2) If the bluetooth headset is hanging on my ear instead of being in my ear (I have choices with this headset), is it likely that people sitting near me would hear it and be distracted. I would be in airplane mode with bluetooth on and would have notifications in locked screen turned off plus the mute button would be engaged. But I would be taking notes and using my bluetooth headset to hear what I am writing. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
