1)He can't understant .

2) He can't to be understood.

The first is active voice. The second is passive voice. (Check spelling: "understand.")

You understand me. active voice. "You" is the subject. "Me" is the object.

I am understood by you. passive voice. "I" is the subject. "You" is the optional actor.

These both have the same meaning.

He can't understand things. This means he is unable to comprehend. The reason is not given.
His hearing may be defective. He may not be familiar with the language. He may be "intellectually challenged," or "retarded," as they used to say.

He can't be understood. (Don't use the "to.")

This means that other people are unable to understand him. Perhaps his use of the language is bad. Perhaps his diction, or pronounciation is bad. (He mumbles his words.)
