A Swift Current girl is doing her best to try and help keep people safe from COVID with a product she's manufacturing for masks.

16-year-old Amisha Hockridge has been making ear extenders for masks for a few months now with her 3D printer for hospitals, health regions, businesses, and pharmacies all over North America.

Hockridge has had over a dozen surgeries in her lifetime and felt making this product for a variety of people in the healthcare industry is a way of giving back.

"I just want to help as many people as I can with this," she said earlier this week. "I've made some for people who don't have ears, just like me, and people who wear hearing aids. I just want to help people... so that they can actually wear masks and stay healthy by giving them the extenders."

One of her medical conditions is called microtia and wearing a mask behind the ear for people that suffer from the condition (with or without the surgery completed) can be painful.

"I've made the extenders with ears on them and everything," she said on the phone. "People like me really appreciate those ones too, because it's just really a cool way."

Hockridge has made over 3,000 ear extenders out of PLA plastic already and some of them are very unique.

"I've done Mickey Mouse ones, some for like companies and businesses, their logos, Ghostbusters and hearts," she said.
