<div class="elementToProof"><i>chapter 4 </i>responds to one primary question—what influence does unintentional sound have in health and healing contexts? In reply, chapter 4 offers a neonatal intensive unit case study that uses the concept rhetorical ventriloquism
to illuminate healthcare technologies, their sounds, and the rhetorical work they do. From a larger study of nurse-caregiver communication in NICUs in Denmark and the United States, qualitative interviews and observations show how healthcare technologies produce
intentional sounds while they also discipline bodies within a NICU.</div>

<div class="elementToProof"><i>chapter 5 </i>emanates from the idea that researchers in health, healing, and hospital contexts are accountable for sound and what they hear—and can be—by acting as earwitnesses. The question driving the final chapter arises from
<b>sound in all research</b> (SiAR) as a research concept and practice: how can researchers who engage in fieldwork—or individuals who work with those who do—behave responsibly toward sound (or its absence) and its likely effects in research spaces? Chapter
5 provides practical examples for acting as responsible researchers and extends rhetoric's role to the sonic in fieldwork. </div>
