Not a good day. My older brother Jeremy is cooking tonight. "What's the problem?' I can hear you saying.
In this paragraph,is the sentence ' I can hear you saying' an elliptical sentence?
Is its complete form like this: I can hear you are saying.

It's not elliptical. 'Hear you saying' is the full form. 'You' is an object pronoun, not a subject pronoun. Change the person and you will see.
I hear him saying.
I hear them saying.
