ELI5: if ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) creates a mirrored sound wave, wouldn’t it contribute to hearing loss if you are receiving more sound waves ?

You're not receiving more soundwaves; that's the "cancellation" part of "Active Noise Cancellation."

When the chips inside the headphones flip the sound wave and play it, they cancel each other out and leave you with next to nothing.
