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 Bichon Frise Poodle mix, also known as a Bichpoo or a Poochon, is a âdesignerâ dog thatâs aimed at melding the best characteristics of the Poodle with those of the Bichon Frise. The Bichpoo (Poochon) is typically about a foot high, weighing around 8 to 16 pounds (4-8 Kgs). Its lifespan is approximately 12 to 15 years.
