Abstract
An electro-acoustic transducer includes: a housing; a fixed electrode; a diaphragm that oscillates in accordance with a potential difference between the diaphragm and the fixed electrode generated based on the electric signal, the diaphragm being provided to face the fixed electrode; and a support part that supports the partial region of the diaphragm toward the fixed electrode, the support part including a displacement part that is displaced in a direction in which the diaphragm is displaced in response to a change in pressure inside the housing, and a contacting part contacts the partial region of the diaphragm, wherein a distance between the diaphragm and the fixed electrode in the partial region is less than a distance between the diaphragm and the fixed electrode outside the partial region.
