"I hear you" is going to be one of those phrases that can go beyond it's literal interpretation of the words to be "I hear the sounds you are making."
Starting with the easy one, to quote a popular commercial, the literal interpretation.
Q. "Hey can you hear me?"
A "Yes, I hear you."
The second way and more popular way is in a way of confirming that you understand something someone is saying to you. The context of the situation will heavily imply whether or not the person is being sincere with you. One way to think of it as though someone is saying "I see what you mean".
Situation 1: Employee bringing a concern to Boss. Boss responds with understanding, but inability to act. Context makes it seem Impatient.
Employee: "Jim doesn't do any work and he's negatively affecting the team's performance."
Boss: "I hear you, but Jim has been here for 20 years and there's nothing we can do."
Situation 2: Employee is in meeting with other coworkers and boss. Boss acknowledges situation and provides no other words. Context makes it seem sincere and sympathetic.
Employee: "Jim is a bad employee! He hurts our team's performance"
Employee2: "He never takes any calls."
Boss: "Yeah, I hear you"
As with a lot of English, context is important.
