Answer:
James West impacted his field in an abundance of ways. For example, West and Sessler are credited as the inventors of the “foil electret microphone”. Without the creation of this compact microphone over 90 percent of all contemporary microphones – which includes those found in telephones, tape records, baby monitors and hearing aids would cease to exist today.
