Abstract
A receiver, the receiver includes a coil, a top assembly, a bottom assembly, and a flat planar armature. The flat planar armature includes an outer ring-like portion that forms a first opening. The flat planar armature further includes a central portion that extends from the outer ring-like portion into the opening. An end of the central portion is free to move in the presence of magnetic flux. The flat planar armature has a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion couples to the top assembly and the bottom assembly. The top assembly and the bottom assembly form a second opening that exposes the second end portion.
