Depending on your environment with regard to temperature, humidity, dust etc, an acoustic tube should be replaced every 3-4 months<\/strong>. You may extend the life of your acoustic tube by cleaning it regularly.<\/p>\n

If you rent out radios and earpieces<\/a> for events, movies or any other reason, the tubes should be discarded upon their return and new ones attached for the next rental.<\/p>\n
