Is it rude to say “hear me out” if someone interrupt me in the middle of my talk? If yes, is there a better way to put it?

Given the situation, being interrupted by someone which is inherently rude-ish, saying 'hear me out' is probably one of the most polite ways to reassert yourself in the conversation.
Other options, such as the following, are a slightly stronger response as they're more imperative:
'Let me finish.'
'Let me speak.'
'Stop interrupting me.'
It'll also depend on your tone, body language, etc, but 'hear me out' is a safe option. 'May I finish, please?' Is also good...or adding 'please' to the request helps soften it.

The meaning of your sentence is ambiguous.
You probably mean
… if someone interrupts me while I’m talking.
But could mean
… if someone interrupts me while I’m giving a talk.
In neither case is ‘Hear me out.” a natural thing to say, but it isn’t rude.
‘Hear me out’ is something you might say before starting to give a long explanation. It doesn’t address the fact that you were interrupted. For example:
It’s a complicated problem but I think I understand it and can explain it to you. Hear me out.

The magic word is "please". It transforms commands (rude) into requests (polite):
"please hear me out"
"please let me make my point"
"please, may I finish".
