Is there any rule which explains the usage of "hear" insread of "heard"? e.g.: Do you hear.. (meaning did you hear?) Do you see... (meaning did you see?)I see your point, but I mean that I came across another usage for example I hearD Walcott scored a goal = I HEAR Walcott scored a goal

The "rule" is basic English grammar: "hear" is present tense, and "heard" is past tense or past participle tense. When we use a word like "did," we use the present form of the next verb, because "did" is already telling us it happened in the past. This applies to all verbs... there is nothing special about "hear/heard."
