Introduction. Hyperacusis is an extreme aversion and hypersensitivity to sounds that are generally not an issue to others. Electrical and machine noises, as well as sudden high-pitched noises, are usually hard to tolerate for people with hyperacusis (examples are listed in the box on this page). However, any sound can potentially trigger a reaction in someone with hyperacusis â even the sound of their own voice.
Even with the hair short, owners still need to brush their Bichons regularly, recommends the All About Bichon Frises website. The puppy cut is a good option for those who do not want the fuss of a show clip, but that don't want their Bichons totally shaved down.
High Maintenance: Concerning grooming, when compared to many other breeds, the Bichon should be considered a high maintenance dog. The Bichon is a white dog that has a double coat when adulthood is reached, and will most likely want to be on your lap, your sofa, and your bed. Because of this, your Bichon generally will require frequent bathing and grooming.
