It's "... what he hears the speaker utter...".
We hear/see people do (bare infinitive) or doing (gerund) something.
Incidentally, the original sentence is badly composed. You can't infer from someone's words "to what the speaker is directly communicating." I am not sure what message the writer wished to convey.
