When should I replace the needle on my turntable?

"This depends on the needle but in general a needle will last 500-2000 playing hours, depending on the quality of the needle. When buying a second hand turntable, always replace the needle as a preventive measure. Not replacing the needle in time can lead to damage to the records."

Good day, After years of inactivity, I am again using my record player that I bought in 1982. I have now bought a new amplifier a few years ago. Now there is a slight hum in the speakers. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?
