From what I see 'Oye' means more like 'hey' where escuchar is used more for the actual act of listening. For example, if you wanted to get someones attention, you would say 'Oye' where if you were speaking to someone and you had something very important to tell the person you would say 'escuchame'.
Also, if you could hear someone, you would use Oir. Ex. 'Yo le oigo'.
Fluent Spanish speakers, feel free to correct me.
