It isn't usual to say 'I'm not understanding'. In most cases we would say 'I don't understand' or 'I can't understand'.
The verbs you have listed would normally be used in the present simple rather than present continuous form. For example:
I can't hear you.
I can't see the TV screen.
I don't believe that story and so on.
