The circuit is really old, early 1960s.

It uses poor quality germanium transistors and a distorting audio transformer both of which will be very expensive.

Use a modern op-amp such as the TL071 which can drive 2k headphones directly or add an LM386 to power pair modern 32R headphones.
 
You can get mag pickups for telephones complete with suction cups. Putting it over the earpiece gives you the benefit of the phones internal anti-sidetone circuit.
 
Old phones sprayed a magnetic signal all over the place. Then this old circuit worked fine.

Some modern phones do not have an earpiece that produces a magnetic signal for a coil to pick it up. They must be labelled, "hearing aid compatible".
