Hear/listen

I know that the difference between hear and listen is intention but which one is correct in the case below?
Or how are they different in meaning? To me, hear your reason sounds more natural but in this context
intention is implied so it should be listen not hear? V. confusing.

I want to hear your reason.
I want to listen to your reason.

Thanks for your help.
