An apparatus for transmitting acoustic signals from a mobile communication device to the ears of a user and from the mouth of a user to the mobile communication device through a fiber optic link. A principal objective of the apparatus is to substantially reduce or eliminate radio frequency radiation exposure to the cranial regions of users of mobile communication devices. One embodiment of the apparatus implements an earphone and microphone system for use with a mobile telephone or other wireless communication device, using no electrical components within the earphone or microphone. The present invention implements a laser-actuated, sound-producing diaphragm as a hearing device. The laser may be contained within a housing connected to a wireless communication device. The laser may be connected to the hearing device by an optical fiber, thus enabling the housing containing the laser to be at a location remote from the hearing device. The housing may also contain a detector, capable of detecting phase changes corresponding to changes in the length of an optical path caused by modulation of a diaphragm used as a microphone.
