Not really.
- Can you hear me?
Or
-Can yoy hear me alright?
Would be better

Do you hear me? Can be answered yes (I can hear you) or No (I can’t hear you)
How do you hear me? Is a different kind of question - it cannot be answered yes / no. If you are asking HOW do you hear me, the answer must explain HOW (like ‘I hear you using my ears’ )

You can say, "Can you hear me?" instead. "How" is used to ask the way something is done. 😊

As it’s not good English to say “are you hearing me (well/all right?)” native speakers have found a way around it by saying “can you hear me (well/ all right)?”. So “can you hear me (well/all right)?” is preferred, especially in British English, to “do you hear me?” when the present continuous is implied.

"Can you hear me?"....in most circumstances. If I wanted to be less casual, I would say "Do you hear me"" Either would be perfectly fine. You could also add "well" or "alright": Can you hear me well/alright?
"How do you hear me" would be asking how you are hearing/listening to me: by phone, by speaker, etc.
Good Luck!
