And if so, how do they label headphones, contact lenses etc?

    Not exactly what you’re looking for, but in Esperanto the words for right and left are “Dekstre” and “Maldekstre” which roughly translates to something"right" and “anti-right” so while the first letter is different they both have the same root word, which is something I don’t think a lot of languages do in this case.

    As far as labeling headphones and such, it’s not really an issue since I don’t think anyone is making products with Esperantists in mind.
