No, you just said hearing protection wasn't cumulative and then explained how that is was, just not on an arithmetic scale.
Actually, the combined hearing protections do provide an arithmetic barrier of protection for the auditory canal. The problem is that sound gets to the middle and inner structures through other means such as bone conduction through the skull and mandible and even via the Eustachian tube.
