Deaf people can be taught to approximate the sounds of their spoken language. It's a difficult process, and they are often very difficult for people to understand because they can't tell by hearing whether they're making the sounds correctly or not. But in the long run it can be very beneficial because they can often communicate with hearing people through a combination of context, lip-reading, and speaking. Here's an article on the man sometimes called the "Father of Oral Deaf Education":

yes it is quite possible using methods similar to the methods that Helen Keller, both deaf and blind, used to learn to communicate effectively with people. Sounds can be made by the shaping of the mouth and memorized. When these are correct and recognizable as word-parts or proper vowl consonants combinations, a vocabulary of sounds is built up. With these, eventually with much difficulty, one can learn to speak, although he or she as born deaf. it isn't easy and almost certainy impossible to attain a proper accent (proper being: pertaining to the region or even shared by another person, in this case).
