Answer

I hope that I have understood your question correctly, in that we are talking about the word "don't".  It would never be ignored as it completely changes the meaning of the sentence.  
"I still don't understand" - I do not understand
"I still understand" - I do understand
It may be that he said it very quickly (which is quite common) and can sound more like "nt"

Answer

The simplest answer is he said it but you aren't able to identify it because your listening skills aren't strong enough yet. No, he wouldn't have omitted it, without 'dont' the sentence doesn't make sense.
