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.
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.
