I hear you is used to acknowledge someone's feelings or concerns. It does not mean just listening — it shows understanding and empathy. For example:
Person 1: This heat wave is killing everyone. - This means everyone is stressed by how hot it is these days.
Person 2: I hear you. - This means the speaker recognizes and understands the other person's frustration.
