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.
The Look of a Bichon Frise. Bichon Frises are small and sturdy with distinctive puffball coats, sometimes groomed âlion-styleâ with a close-cut body and puffy mane. They have slightly rounded heads, medium-length muzzles, hanging ears (usually covered in hair) and protruding black noses. Their dark eyes have a curious and lively expression.
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.
