Default Question about converting military helmet

Hello I've not posted on rah before, but have lurked long enough to
realize that you guys have
a few electronics experts among you. What I have is a Gentex sph-4
military flyers helmet.
This is a single plug helicopter helmet. I've been told that the
microphone impedence for
military helmets is different (sorry guys I don't have the actual
values) from civilian helmets,
and I have tested this helmet in a helicopter. The earphone portion
works fine. My question is what must be done to this helmet to make
use of it in a civilian helicopter? Is it as simple as
replacing the existing mic with a proper resistance civilian mic? Or
is it something more tricky
and electronically sinister? Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks
in advance!
