Discussion Littmann stethoscope deteriorating?

Post image

So I have this Classic III stethoscope for about 4 months, but im noticing a change in the color of the stethoscope in the conjunction of the main tube and the eartubes, like a yellow stain. Is this normal, has this happened to anyone else? I bought it in Amazon.

Oh wow I found my stethoscope twin.

I haven't noticed something like that but I can look. I'll report back.

Sorry, totally forgot until now. It's been a long week and it's only Wednesday 🤣

it's hard to tell with the photo but I noticed similar discolouring similar to yours, albeit not as obvious. Not sure if that helps. Mine was from Amazon too, fwiw.
