You speak. Just that you can't hear responses. Though a lot of communication would have to be done through touch.

YOu will only be able to learn to speak if you were not born deaf and blind.

You wouldn't communicate with people  

It is possible to communicate with people, via signing. They can use your hands to form signs, and you can talk/sign to them. (That depends on them knowing sign language of course.) There is also Braille.

Of course becoming deaf and blind later is life is very different to being born that way.
