Ya when I look up at the dictionary, the difference between 見る & 見える、or 聴く or 聴こえる are To see & To been seen, To hear & To be heard

For example,
I watch TV テレビを見る
You can see the stars in here ここに星空が見える。
I am listening to music. 音楽を聴いている
Can you hear me? 聴こえる?

So, I am wondering if these "pairs" of verbs are used depending on the "point of view"... I understand (sort of) how to use them now, but I just want to do more anaylsis.
