No, the sound is transmitted through the body rather than just via the auditory system in such a way that simply plugging or covering your ears will provide no protection from the effect. As analogy, imagine the effect of a train whistle or jet engine on someone who’s within 1-25 ft., but 100% deaf. It wouldn’t need to be heard by their ears per se as it would be so powerful as to be transmitted into the target’s body, which would reacts accordingly to a 100+ decibel sound.
