Abstract

A telephone handset includes a housing containing an earpiece part including a piezo-electric disk joined to an electrically conductive support disk, the edge of the support disk being clamped between two holding parts and separating a rear volume from a front volume. The rear volume is delimited by the combination of the piezo-electric disk and its support disk and by a rear wall facing this combination and a circular lateral wall, the rear wall and the lateral wall constituting a rear part with micro-leaks to constitute with the rear volume an acoustic damper device. The front volume, on the other side of the aforementioned combination constitutes, with holes in a wall of the front volume facing the latter combination, a Helmoltz resonator. The housing further contains a board supporting electronic components in direct contact with the rear wall of the rear volume.
