Magnets are used in the listening device, better known as the ear peice. It would convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. The ear peice would move with the fluctuations of the audio electrical signal, thereby moving a membrane to oscillate at the audio frequency of the electrical signal. Also, in very old telephones they would use the magnets as an electrical generator when you rotated the handle to produce an AC signal that would ring a bell on the Operator's end of the line. This would signal the Operator that you wanted to make a call by "ringing her bell".
