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.
The cross breed between a Bichon Frise and a Shih Tzu is commonly known as a Shichon, Tzu Frise or Zuchon. This is the most common type of teddy bear puppies breed and is generally what people think of when referring to teddy bear dogs. This breed gained the name âTeddy Bearâ due to its small size, fluffy coat, delicate features, large eyes and their general resemblance to the stuffed teddy bear.
