If by "hear" you mean "is He aware of the words they have prayed" the answer is of course, He's omniscient.

But the Bible uses the term "hear our prayers" as a metonymy of cause (the act of hearing, the cause, is substituted for the effect, the result -- a response).

Literally He does, figuratively He does not.

I'm kind of dumb... what exactly are you saying? I think you are saying that He does not hear, as in hear and take into consideration, the prayers of those who do not have a "correct" understanding of Him?
