I sympathise, although yours sounds even more extreme than mine. I can't even bear bright colours, they hurt my eyes.
My chiropractor recommended tinted lenses, so I got red tinted sunglasses that I wear the whole time I am out, whatever the weather. They change the light rather than block it much. You could try on different coloured tints in a shop that does sunglasses or something.
You may find flexible silicone earplugs will be the best as they are made for people that work in noisy factories etc. and you can get them cheap on eBay. There are also those ones that are like putty so you fit them exactly to your own ear.
Read up on Mears Irlen Syndrome (also known as scotopic sensitivity). I fit the criteria for this.
