Hello,
Hearing impairment in childhood can affect the speech as well. As the hearing is impaired from childhood his brain can not function well to understand the words and thus speaking is affected.
It is a difficult condition to cure. Intensive speech therapy can help a bit. Consult a speech therapist and he will direct accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
