CS is redundant if the child is acquiring their L1 langauge through the use of CS.  L2 can be learned visually through print.  One does not acquire 2 L1 languages.  One acquires the L1 language and learns the L2 language.  Numerous studies over time have supported the fact that a deaf child in an oral environment does not acquire an L1 language to the degree that they achieve native fluency.  That is why, even the majority of the oral successes still struggle with native fluency in English.
