"ed" and "s" pronunciation

How to pronounce called, stopped or listened? If a word pronounced with a last voice which is /t/ or /d/ so "ed" is read as /id/. For example: edited or needed or headed. In the case, where the last voice is unvoiced like /f/, /p/, /s/... "ed" is pronounced as /t/. Otherwise it is read as /d/.
How about buses. If a word with a last voice is /s/, /z/, /sh/, /ch/, /j/ we say /iz/. When the last voice is unvoiced consonant like /p/, /t/,/k/,/f/ ... we say /s/. Otherwise we say /z/.
In addition, if a countable noun finished by s, sh, ch, x, z we add es to its plural form.
