I’ve dealt with this too, and it’s definitely frustrating. One thing that helped me was enabling Loudness Equalization on my computer and using a media player with volume normalization.

Hi Ramon. You can get software such as Express Scribe, The FTW Transcriber, Inqscribe, Sonix, SpeedScriber, and OTranscribe while going to their website and downloading them. Few of these offer free versions also.
