Throat microphone
A type of microphone used by a person operating in an extremely noisy area such as the cockpit of an airplane. The throat microphone is strapped around the person's neck so the sensitive pickup rests over the larynx (the part of the throat containing the vocal cords). When the person wearing the microphone talks, vibrations of the larynx vibrate the microphone and produce an electrical signal that can be changed into sound.
