Jack up you car and try to pull the wheel off. Basically same thing you would do to when taking the wheel of but do it with the lug nuts in place. If it is bad you will have play in and out if not your good.

If you have no play in the wheels then the bearing are fine. they could be road noise from you tires. Have you done any front end work on you car at all?

meaning, has your car ever been damaged in the front and been repaired.

i higly doubt that it has anything to do with your front end. if there is no play on the wheels, it's most likely noise from your tires. if the bearing was bad not only will you have play, but the noise will carry on at higher speeds, not just when you slow down.
