Yes, they don't really mean the same thing at all because hear and listen don't mean the same thing.
I hear someone's advice just means that I have an auditory perception of it.
I listen to someone's advice means that I consider it and probably follow it.
"I hear you" is also used colloquially to mean "I agree with what you are saying" but I would not use it with "your advice".

The most common idiom for listening to and then following advice is 'to heed advice'.
This is unambiguous.
