Dacor Eagle 1st stage leak

My wife and I have the same reg set up: Dacor Eagle with Viper octo.
Our regs were serviced in April 2007.
Due to a move this summer, we have not gotten to dive.
While getting ready for our Key Largo trip, I was checking the regs on a full tank.
Now, I guess that some regs have a very slight hiss of air from the 1st stage. At least that is what our instructor told us when I asked him about this in our OW class.
Anyhow, neither of our regs have ever had a hiss at the 1st stage. Mine does not now, but my wife's does. You have to have your ear within an inch or 2 of the 1st stage to hear it.

Is it really normal for a very little hiss? If so, should I be concerned enough (since neither of ours has doen this before) to have it checked out before our trip in a week?
