I'm hearing impaired and went to a special education classes with a speech pathologist to help me talk more clearly. I was mainstreamed into the regular classroom. Those who are more impaired or deaf went to deaf school and learned sign language. I can only hear some sounds but not all so I still have trouble with some sounds and words. I sometimes lip read when someone is talking to me.

Many hearing-impaired people are not completely hearing-impaired, so they can hear some sounds and imitate them.
Those who are completely deaf can learn to speak by working with speech pathologists. According to my understanding, this training uses things like biofeedback and specific instruction about how the person should hold his/her mouth, for example, when making certain sounds.
