How to Use the Volume Booster Feature in Helperbird

Learn how to use the volume booster feature. Make website audio louder for better hearing Support accessibility for everyone.

What is Volume Booster?

Volume Booster increases the audio volume beyond what the website normally allows. Even when a video is at maximum volume and it is still too quiet, Volume Booster can make it louder.

You can increase volume up to 600% of the original level.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • People with hearing difficulties who need louder audio
  • Anyone watching videos that have quiet audio
  • People in noisy environments who need to hear over background noise
  • Anyone whose device speakers are too quiet
  • People who struggle to hear spoken content

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


Step 2: Open the All Features Section

Scroll down to the bottom of the Helperbird menu. You will see a section called All Features.

Click the arrow next to All Features to expand it and show all available features.


Step 3: Find Media Options

Look through the list of features until you see Media options.


Step 4: Open Media Options

Click on Media options to open it.

A panel will appear showing the media-related settings you can adjust.


Step 5: Turn on Volume Booster

In the Media options panel, look for Volume booster.

Click the toggle switch next to it to turn it on. The toggle will turn green when it is enabled.


Step 6: Adjust the Volume

Once Volume booster is turned on, a slider will appear below the toggle.

Drag the slider to the right to increase the volume. The percentage shows how much the volume is boosted above the normal maximum.

  • 100% means normal maximum volume
  • 200% means twice as loud as normal
  • 600% means six times as loud as normal

The volume change applies immediately to any audio or video on the page.

Warning: Be careful with very high volume levels, especially when using headphones. Very loud audio can damage your hearing. Start with a small increase and gradually adjust until you can hear comfortably.

They were super fast with response time when helping me meet a deadline and very kind when corresponding. If the app is anything like their customer service then I am happy with my purchase!

I really liked the ease of setting up and also accessing the tool while you are on chrome. I had no trouble, and within a week found myself using it without even noticing.

I have ADHD and yesterday Helperbird and the text-to-speech function (available in free version) turned a 28-page reading assignment from a two-day task to roughly two hours, maybe three at the absolute most. It helped tremendously! And I loved that the text-to-speech has such a fluid voice compared to a lot of others I've used! Honestly, the fact that this was created by someone who knows the struggles is something I love, because then it has neurodivergency in mind. I've tried too many things in the past that were created by neurotypical folk trying to be helpful to us and I do appreciate it, but it doesn't work as well because our brains work different. Highly recommend!
