Systems and techniques are disclosed for a headset that may be used in an
audio system used in a magnetic field. In one aspect, the system includes
an inner set portion adapted to fit into an ear canal. A pneumatic port
is disposed in the hole to couple audible sounds to the ear canal. The
system may include a non-magnetic transducer coupled to the pneumatic
port. The system also may include a fiber-optic microphone to couple
sound from a user of the headset. Other techniques provide a
stethoscope-type yoke to couple the pneumatic port and the fiber-optic
antenna to the non-magnetic transducer.
