Allow text tones through bluetooth headset

I have an iPhone 8 connected to a bluetooth headset. When the phone is on vibrate no text notification tones are audible throught the headset. Is there a way to make text notifications (tones) come through the headset when the phone is on vibrate?

iPhone 8, iOS 12

Behavior that I have seen from most Bluetooth headsets is that the text tone is too short for the headset to react to the sound. For the most part, your Bluetooth headset is in a suspended mode, unless you have just used it, or are currently using it for something. When a text tone goes off, it has to "wake" the headset, and by the time that happens and it is ready to accept the sound, it is already over. You can see this at times when you start to play music, you can miss the first note of a song. You may need to research a different headset.
