Do they ever break/wear out?

I have officiated for eight years. I am currently using my third Fox 40 Classic (no mouth guard or whatever it's called). I have been using this one for four years now. I am on my third only because I lost/misplaced the other two; I have never had a whistle break or otherwise be unusuable. I have a couple of brand new ones as backups, but I was wondering if my Classic will ever break/wear out. And I guess I mean "break" from normal officiating use (I'm sure they break!).

Do others just keep using the same whistle year after year after year? I do give the whistle a thorough cleaning about once every two weeks during the season -- otherwise, I am sure that it would be enormously disgusting....
