They are connected words.
"to hear" is the bodily process using our ears; it is done without thinking about it.
"to listen" is the act of using that process; we must actively do this.
Examples:
I can hear music.
Listen to this beautiful song.

Listening means you pay attention. Also, you use a preposition (to/for) after listen. If you use hear, you must tell us what you hear.
I hear music.
I listen to music.
I listened for my friend's voice. (= I was waiting and listening.)

They are not the same. You listen for a sound, but you may or may not hear it. To hear is the end result of listening.

Hear is a result and listen is a process.

To hear = oir
To listen = escuchar
(Más o menos)
