Unlikely: Hearing loss may not be related , need to know type most likely it is papillary thyroid cancer , even with lymph node metastasis you will have excellent prognosis , speak to your oncologist.

Hrng loss = prob not: Thyroid cancer would probably not be the cause of slight hearing loss. There is definitely a chance of spread beyond your lymph nodes, in which case it would become even more serious. Make sure you are working with your physicians and have received or are receiving appropriate therapy.
