The value of the damping ratio Î¶ determines the behavior of the system such that Î¶ = 1 corresponds to being critically damped with larger values being overdamped and smaller values being underdamped. If Î¶ = 0, the system is undamped.
A Dr. Darshan N. Shah, MD , Neurology, answered on behalf of NorthShore University HealthSystem. Internists, neurologists, and ENTs (ear nose and throat doctors) all treat vertigo and dizziness. The specific specialist you may see is determined by the cause of your symptoms.
Any signs and symptoms of vertigo should be evaluated by a doctor. The majority of cases of vertigo are harmless. Although vertigo can be debilitating, most causes are easily treated with prescription medication. Have a doctor check any new signs and symptoms of vertigo to rule out rare, potentially serious, or life-threatening causes. The source of vertigo may be not the ears or balance system (vestibular system) and it is very imporatnt to rule out other life-threatening causes first. Certain signs and symptoms of vertigo may require evaluation in a hospital's emergency department, such as: 1  Double vision. 2  Headache. 3  Weakness. 4  Difficulty speaking.
