I AM HEARING can be used when the sentence is like the following.
"In these days I am hearing a lot about the problem of AIDS"- this is Present continuous.

There are few of the verbs like hear, feel (which is not seen by other people such kind of verbs) for which we don't use "ing".
For example while we mean " I am feeling" it should be as "I feel" in English.

I am hearing is also present tense, then why "i hear"?

"I AM HEARING" is a present continuous tense. So how is it wrong ?
