Desmond seemed to get a new ability, or maybe a little one, he was able to "see" Lockes speech he made at the end, and Hurley catagorized it as Deja-Vu.

Apparently so, but whether this ability of Desmond's is permanent or temporary remains to be seen. Hurley's claim of deja-vu might have simply been related to Desmond's telling him about the speech, and then seeing it happen, but it is possible that Hurley developed a similar, if more vague version of this future-seeing ability, not being able to specifically see actual events, but feel deja-vu?

No, Im almost certain that Hurley forgot about what Desmond told him, and it whent in the back of his head. Then later, it happened, sortof waking up the tiny bit of memory, creating Deja-vu.

It could be that simple, yes, but with Lost, you never know. It was probably less than an hour's time, maybe a few hours at most between Desmond's telling Hurley about Locke's speech and the actual event. Do you think Hurley might have forgotten by then?

If he did then he will probably remember it again in time.
How did Locke's voice come back?

You are mistaken, Durandal. We were saying that Hurley's feeling of deja-vu at the end of the episode might have been caused by him remembering what Desmond said about Locke's speach, a speech about how he would go and rescue his friends--a speech that he hadn't made yet. Desmond knew the speech before it happened--Hurley already felt the deja-vu, I don't see what you mean by "he will probably remember it again in time."
As for Locke's voice, that is another matter in itself. We don't know for a fact whether he couldn't speak, or just wouldn't speak, but after the vision, he could speak again. Maybe he refused to speak until he decided on a course of action? Or maybe the island can take away abilities as well as give them--just as Locke regained the use of his legs, he might lose the use of his voice.

Or perhaps the EMP explosion caused Locke to lose its voice but the island's healing powers still remained long enough to correct that problem.

Possible, I suppose, but Charlie's voice wasn't affected, and it is presumable that Eko's wasn't, but we didn't see him immediately after the implosion. Its always a mystery of whether events are happening by explainable means or by design. But whether Locke couldn't or just wouldn't speak until he talked to the island is uknown. If the island itself does have events by design, it could have taken away his voice and then given it back, or maybe you're right, and it was a result of the implosion.
Desmond continues to play an interesting part. His experiment was interesting, perhaps testing if electromagnetic properties were still present after the Swan imploded. Perhaps, as might have been mentioned before, there was a kind of electromagnetic dome surrounding the island, and it probably wouldn't let lightning through, so perhaps the dome, if in fact a dome it be, is no longer there, and the island might be vulnerable to detection, or at least lightning, apparently.
