The tube should be like this, clear and flexible. If it turns yellow and hard, it will affect the sound, and this is why the tube should be replaced. It varies how often you should do this. Remove the tube from the device, and off the plug. You can decide – when you have taken your new tube – to cut the length based on the old piece.

Then it is important that you try the device to see if the length is correct. If the tube is too long, then the device will hang and flutter. If it is too short, you risk that it will pull the plug, and the plug can squeal. You can also have another kind of plug. A soft plug. Then the tube will look a bit different.
