The bearing assembly can extend between a rotor and a housing, have a plurality of bearing rolling elements mounted for rotation within a bearing ring, an oil damper cavity between the bearing ring and the housing, an oil inlet path to feed the oil damper cavity, and at least one damper ring defining a corresponding axial limit to the oil damper cavity and having a radially inner edge received in a corresponding annular groove defined in the bearing ring, and a radially outer edge having at least one arc portion extending radially outwardly relative the annular groove and engaging the housing, and at least one controlled leakage portion radially recessed from the housing and forming a leakage path leading axially out from the oil damper cavity.
