Zhiming,

I don't know if I completely agree with your assesment:

我听不见 I am not able to hear.

This phrases is indicating, "I didn't hear" as it WOULD BE POSSIBLE to hear, just that in this one isolated instance the (SB) didn't hear.

我听得见 I am able to hear.

This phrase indicates an instance that you do hear.

While they do imply possibility or impossibility, I wouldn't recommend replacing these structures with, 会，不会，可以，不可以，能，不能。
