James Edward Maceo West
(born February 10, 1931 in
Farmville, Prince Edward County, Virginia)
Nearly 90 percent of more than two billion microphones produced annually are based on the principles of the foil-electret and are used in everyday items such as telephones, camcorders, hearing aids, baby monitors, and audio recording devices among others.[6]
West measured the acoustics of Philharmonic Hall in New York City.[7]
Recently, West teamed with Ilene Busch-Vishniac and studied the
acoustic environment of hospitals showing that hospitals are in general
too loud and that the noise levels affect staff and patients.[8]
