Currently, it is hard to say. But with 1986 statistics, approximately 750,000 (5% of total population) reported having a hearing problem great enough to occasionally cause them some degree of difficulty in Australia, particularly in noisy conditions. Reference: Gallaudet Encyclopedia of Deaf People and Deafness. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1986.
lol. Who knows!? I would have to say about 1,738. ^^ actually it's a much larger number than that. I just began taking a sign language class this year and in the U.S. alone there are 25 million people who have hearing loss or who are deaf.
According to estimates, there are approximately 26.9 million Americans who are deaf or hard of hearing, and around 1.3 million Americans who are blind.
IMPROVED: The first reply is correct, though he is considered legally deaf, and he does read lips. Not exactly. He is hard of hearing. He lost 80% of his hearing to an ear infection at the age of 3. Deafness is different from being hearing-impaired. The hearing-impaired only need hearing aids & don't have a large percentage of hearing loss. The Deaf use ASL or are oral.

8.7 million deaf and hard of hearing people in the UK. The number is rising as the number of people over 60 increases. About 673,000 of these are severely or profoundly deaf; 420,000 of them cannot hear well enough to use a voice telephone
It is estimated that there are approximately 1 million individuals who are functionally deaf or hard of hearing in the United States. This includes both individuals who are profoundly deaf and those who have varying degrees of hearing loss.
There is no such thing as as deaf person that can hear, unless you're talking about a hard-of-hearing person, or a person who is legally deaf but has some hearing. In that case, a person talks to another person in a common language, whether it be sign language or vocal language.In these situations, I don't think there's any implication that sign language is less important.

Yes, sign language can be taught to hearing people. Many hearing individuals learn sign language to communicate with Deaf individuals or for professional reasons, such as interpreting or working in the deaf community. Various schools, community centers, and online resources offer sign language classes for hearing people.
People who were born deaf or became deaf before they were able to develop language have a tough time learning to speak. It is hard to make speech sounds when you cannot hear what sound you are making. Many deaf people who have tried to learn speech work hard to learn exact tongue placement and air control. Even with all of this hard work, they often sound "different". Many hearing people claim that deaf people have a nasal tone because they push too much air through the nose. Because of shyness, lack of self confidence, possible ridicule as a child, or just difficulty learning to make the sounds, many deaf people choose to not use their voices to communicate.
