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.
I bathe my Bichon every two weeks with a mild, tearless shampoo made only for dogs. It is also very important that the shampoo is rinsed completely out of the coat. Shampoo left in the coat can dull the coat and cause skin irritation. These instructions are for the shorter pet cuts and for the novice groomer. If you would like to attempt the all hand-scissored show cut, refer to Kiyomi's Bichon Trimming instructions. These instructions also have wonderful color pictures.
