How often do you change needles?

I only wind 2 bobbins at a time, when I have to wind more bobbins that is my sign to change my needle and clean out my bobbin area. Yes I can wind more bobbins, but this is what works for me to ensure that I clean my machine and change the needle on a regular basis.

I change mine when I think of it or when I hear it starting to sound thunkish.

If you listen carefully, you will hear the needle...pop, pop, pop through the fabric. It's time to change the needle.
I change the needle after about 8 hours of sewing.
If i get a jam.
Between projects.
My favorite needle is micro-tex 80/12. Lots of them in the needle box.
