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.
More traits and characteristics of the Bichon Frise. If I was considering a Bichon Frise, I would be most concerned about... Grooming. To keep their coat free of mats, Bichons require regular brushing and combing, and also clipping and trimming every 6 weeks. Just don't expect your pet Bichon Frise to look like the puff-ball Bichon Frise show dogs you've probably seen on the Westiminster Kennel Club show on TV.
