In my experience, not so much. I have Polare sunglasses, but they don't do enough. I have heavy ear plugs and ear protectors, but they're almost as uncomfortable as the pain, and they don't do enough to block the pain.

I am not a doctor, but I would consider salicylate sensitivity and/or other medical issues such as nutrient deficiencies, Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, etc. which can make everything much more painful. In my experience, doctors don't usually check for salicylate sensitivity, "uncommon" allergies, or nutrient deficiencies.
