On two pairs of stereo earphones I have, the tip is left, ring is
right, and sleeve is common.

Dunno about explicit industry standards, but the tip is L (white color
code on RCA jacks) and the base (ring) is ground. The middle part
(sleeve) is R.

When you have a mono plug/jack you'll only get the left channel as
ring & sleeve will be shorted.

In the telephone industry, where Tip, Ring, and Sleeve terms came from, what
you call the base is the Sleeve. The Ring is the small ring between the Tip
and Sleeve. The Sleeve is common. The colors of the connected wires was
application specific.
