Can drywall dust irritate the inner ear?

LWHenriks asked:


I’ve been exposed to some highly concentrated drywall dust this week (for a couple of hours–dust was cloudy in the room) and then some lightly concentrated drywall dust for about 12 hours (not enough to see, but enough to dust surfaces). I wasn’t wearing a mask. A few days ago I developed a low hum in my ears that hasn’t gone away. I know that the dust can cause sinus issues. Might the dust be the cause of the humming? Thanks.

What paint color will be good for a subpar drywall finishing job?

I consider myself a rookie when it comes to finishing drywall. What color do you think will mask some of the errors in my finish work?? It’s in the basement without much natural light, so a lighter tone might have to work.
