Best of luck with your treatment.

To start your research, try the following sites for plenty of great reviews;

Inner Fidelity
http://www.innerfidelity.com/

headfi.org
http://www.head-fi.org/

Both also have You Tube channels with reviews, etc.

One way to go initially would be an iPod Classic ($300), with lossless files, along with a nice DAC/amp like FiiO E17 ($130), and a pair of closed over ears. Were I looking for over ears, I'd give serious thought to the Focal Spirit Classic or Senn Momentum. I use a pair of Beyerdynamic DT1350 on-ears, which provide excellent sound and isolation, as well as portability. For IEMs, have a pair Shure 535s, which are very, very good, but as the other poster notes, have a comfort issue with these.

But there's lots of good options out there.
