Yes, there are many deaf people with CI use ASL in US.
I know some people who received CI at baby still have struggle with oral language so have to use ASL.
The most of hearing parents choice AVT over speech therapy, SEE, speech cued, ASL/BiBi. Some Parents Deaf babies's CI surgeons is under political of AGBell. They contact AGBell after heard from audiologist showed the hearing test failed. That where is AV's spreading the world on Facebook page fan, groups, social networking. That I saw everyone's writing comments. Shaking my head. It sound like power forced.
I had met CI kids. They know sign languages and oral communicate. My son's friend is deaf and know sign language. He took his CI age 3. His parent know sign language too. They are my friends. I respect their decide for son to have CI.
I have a Deaf friend from my hometown resident. Her grandson has a CI age 9 months old and now he is 12 years old. He know ASL through his Deaf family. His speech is pretty good to me. I know many deaf kids have CI and have a BiBi programs at mainstream.
One of my third cousin has bilateral CIs. His mom is my bitch cousin! She is not allowed him to learn sign language. She listened to Audist doctor. She isn't listen to me, my mom, my hubby, cousins offered her to learn sign language for her son. He have no father. He is true Audism. He don't understand my sign. He think it's funny when I used sign to my hubby. That is Audism attitude. :roll:
