It does seem like God can be frustratingly silent sometimes. It happens to everyone. Here are some suggestions:
If there is a place where you normally feel very comfortable and open, relaxed and the most whole, go there, either alone or with one other person whom you're comfortable talking with about your faith and life. Be in silence for a while, let your thoughts sort themselves out, or engage in conversation with your friend (or the air). Listen with your whole being, not just your ears.
Engage in regular prayer.
Read your Bible regularly. A favorite book, the Psalms, or some passage that seems to fit your needs and feelings.
Listen to your conscience.
See if you can sit in your church's sanctuary alone for a while. You don't have to turn on all the lights. Light a candle if you wish.
Sometimes the voice of God can come through other people. Is there someone whose faith and judgment you respect a lot? Visit them. You don't need to talk about heavy religious stuff. If they're an older member of your church, they'll be delighted that you want to talk to them.
The most important thing is to wait on God. You can't tune in like we do a radio station. Just be ready for God's message. It can come in the most surprising ways.

Take the time to dedicate 24 hours to God from sundown Friday evening to sundown Saturday evening. Dont do any work and just focus on God. Ask him to give you direction and ask him to not let anyone or anything decieve you into believing a lie. Spend time in his word and meditate and ponder over it.
This should help.

Do you have any unforgiveness or any other sin?
When we have sin like unforgiveness it puts a wedge between us and God.
I heard a pastor say if we haven't heard from God for a while than we need to go back keep doing what He told us the last time we heard from Him.
Personally I examine myself and see if I have any sin that needs to be dealt with first. Ask the Holy Spirit, He will convict where we need conviction. God Bless and have a great day!

Read and meditate on His Word. Draw closer to God and He will draw closer to you. And sometimes when you pray, don't ask for anything, just listen, and He will speak. It is such a wonderful thing to hear from God. Have faith and draw closer!

Let not your heart be troubled.
Not hearing from God is not an indication of anything, because He stated categorically that He would never leave you nor forsake you.
When you can't seem to hear from Him, stay the course He's already set you on, and you'll be fine.

How do you EXPECT to hear from Him? Drop all your expectations, and you'll be able to hear better.
Oh, and keep in mind, sometimes we ask God, "A or B" and He doesn't answer because "A or B" isn't really the question we should be asking.

Well, maybe you're still deaf to His voice. I suggest that you dig into the Word...and when I say dig into it, i mean it!
"You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with ALL of your heart." Jeremiah 29:13
Hearing from the Lord comes from KNOWING Him, how would you recognize His voice otherwise? Dig into the Word, seek Him, and you will learn to hear Him when He speaks...

It he wanted you to hear him, he would let you. If your hearing & seeing nothing, find someone real to talk too. That usually works for me.
