I have improvised with a headset for one source and earbuds for the other when doing medical transcription from home with one side of the headset covering one ear and one earbud in the other. A refreshable braille display/notetaker was very helpful, too. The companies I've worked for provided the transcription-specific equipment (hardware and software). Many medical references are available online. Searching them out ahead of time, bookmarking them, and familiarizing yourself with them can be a great timesaver.
