Equalizing is the process of making things equal or level.
Audio equalizing adjusts frequency levels to balance sound: She spent an hour equalizing the mix.
In diving, equalizing relieves pressure in the ears during descent.
The word often implies correcting an imbalance: The goal had an equalizing effect on the match.
