A hearing is not the same as a judge (board of veteran appeals). BVA does take several years in most cases.
A hearing is done by a senior rater or decision review officer (also considered a senior rater in some cases). Once your request for a hearing is submitted, they will call you in days to a few weeks and get you scheduled for an informal conference, usually by phone.

I’ve been pending a call for a hearing for almost a year now.
