Moving iron microphone used on hearing aids


The headphone can also be moving iron. The impedance can more easily, less difficultly be higher since the coil is not the moving part.


For example the Philips 4 transistor model KL5500:

This seems to be the same principle as electric guitar pickups. The moving iron is the guitar string. Then a coil is would around a magnetic circuit from a permanent magnet.
