First make sure you listen to them and when you need something make sure you are able to justify why they should listen to you.maybe these will ease things out.

First I would hear them out and listen to what they have to say about the issue we are discussing, then add my own input

Ask them if you can get a min of their time and speak to them in a polite way where they understand you and listen to what you have to say

In order to make your parents listen to you, you first need to make sure you have their attention. Try not to disturb them when they are busy, if possible, find a time they can focus only on you. Show them that them listening to you means a lot to you and you really need them at that moment. If you think your parents might think what you're going to tell them won't be worth their time, instead of asking them to listen, tell them you need to talk to them and, as I already said, that it means a lot to you.

One way to help you're parents listen is to be very clear and avoid raising your voice, another option could be just to take them aside, away from all distractions, and just have an adult conversation

First and foremost, always be polite and respectful with your parents :) It is the first step to having a serious conversation. Without respect, people tend to be defensive and closed minded. Second of all, choose the right moment to discuss with them. Last but not least, understand them. You hate the fact that they don't understand you, but it is the same for them. Try to always consider their position and take into account their worries. If you are respectful and polite, choose the appropriate time to discuss and take into account their worries, you have all the ingredients to have an effective discussion with your parents :)
