Hollyoaks Actress Rachel Shenton to Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro for Deaf Charity

(prHWY.com) February 8, 2012 - Preston, United Kingdom -- Rachel Shenton, the actress from Channel 4 show Hollyoaks is set to tackle the gigantic Mount Kilimanjaro in the name of charity.

Rachel is fairly comfortable with hearing loss having experienced it at an early age within her family. Her father quite literally lost his hearing over night after he had a series of chemotherapy to treat his cancer. Her father bought a hearing aid however he sadly passed away from causes unrelated to his cancer after he successfully beat it.

It was since this that the young, up and coming actress started to take more notice of the deaf world and it made her become very grateful for having her hearing. She then decided she would train as a BSL interpreter (British Sign Language).

Despite her busy schedule as a full-time actress she is taking time out to climb Mount Kilimanjaro this year and she is doing it for the National Deaf Children's Society. She started training for the climb in January of this year so she will no doubt be busy with her hectic filming schedule too.

There are approximately 19,600 deaf teenagers in the UK at the minute and with a vast array of different kinds of hearing aids that are available like Widex hearing aids, there are many teenagers who need not panic about their lack of hearing.

Starkey hearing aids are also available and if you're someone who happens to suffer from hearing loss then you should definitely look at getting a hearing aid for yourself.
