Generally yes. The more pigment in the external ear region, the more likely it is that there is pigment in the internal ear (and hence, less risk of deafness due to lack of pigment in the inner ear). No guarantees of course
But it's only about one in five white pups who're going to end bilaterally deaf anyway.
