Hi blazya
The expression you're talking about is "no matter" but the test sentence does not mean "no matter what you say". It's connected with the idea of how loudly something is said.

To use "no matter" with a meaning similar to the test sentence, you could say "No matter how much louder you make your voice, I (still) can't hear you."

Hi Blazya, I'm spanish speaker too, and maybe this translation can help you:

It's not use --> No vale la pena (no es ?til)
I can't hear you --> (igual) no puedo o?rte

I hope this help you!
