It can, but...
It depends on where the tumors are/were, and the type of treatment you received. If you received "CHOP" or any combination with the drug Vincristine (Oncovin), it can cause nerve damage in hands, feet, eyes and ears. Have you notified doctor?

Treatment side effects and/or hyperviscosity
Vincristine-induced neuropathy is a possibility.
It also seems possible that the hyperviscosity in WM can lead to hearing loss due to thrombus formation...

Please follow Po18guy's advice and inform your doctor.
I hope this helps. Do keep us posted.
