Hi,
Since a label tag cannot be shared amongst input controls, an option would
be to create redundant labels and then use CSS to place them off-screen.

Currently screen readers support the use of the same ID attribute on
multiple controls referencing one label, but since technically an ID is to
be specific to an individual control this is an illegal practice. And you
never know when AT will stop supporting this.
