The English word "hear" is weird in that it's used both for passive sound detection ("suddenly, he heard a noise") and for active comprehension ("the crowd hear Kahless' call for unity and join together as one").

We have several examples of {Qoy} in canon, which should clarify its meaning.
  {HIQoymoH}  "let me hear (something)" (TKD)
  {jach SuvwI' 'e' yIQoy!}  "Hear the warrior cry out!" (TKW)
  {'IwlIj ghogh yIQoy.}  "Listen to the voice of your blood." (TKW)
  {Qoy qeylIS puqloD, Qoy puqbe'pu'}  "Hear! Sons of Kahless. Hear! Daughters too." (Star Trek: Klingon CD)

More examples of {Qoy}:

'arlogh wab Qoylu'pu'? 
How many times has someone heard the sound? 
How many times has the sound been heard?
(i.e. What time is it?) [st.k 2/99] 

qen 'arlogh Qoylu'pu'? 
Recently, how many times has someone heard it?
 (i.e. What time is it?) [st.k 2/99]

I found only two examples of {'Ij} "listen" in context:

DIvI' Se' wI'IjtaHvIS DaH ngoqDe' wIHevta' 
We've just received an encoded message on the Federation frequency. (ST5 notes)

Note that the last paq'batlh example is used together with {Qoy}.
