Here are my top 12 verses on "hearing:"
Jesus On Hearing
Matthew 7:24-27 King James Version
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Mark 7:14-16 King James Version
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Luke 8:10 King James Version
10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
John 10:16 King James Version
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
John 10:16 King James Version
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Hearing In The New Testament

Romans 10:17 King James Version

James 1:22-24 King James Version
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
1 John 5:14-15 King James Version
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

Hearing In The Old Testament

1 Samuel 3:9-11 King James Version
9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
Ecclesiastes 1:8 King James Version

Ezekiel 33:7 King James Version
7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
Conclusion Of The Whole Matter
Obviously, a topic that is common throughout the Bible. It is included in all 4 gospels, among many of the NT writers, and in each of the major sections of the OT (Torah, History, Wisdom, Prophets). It was especially nice to see the four verses from the NT include all six synonyms I researched!
The numbers for the word "hear" is inflated since other words like "heart" show up in the search.
