Have you checked your brake pads? A bad bearing won't make much of a "metal on metal squealing" but more of a "howling" sound. But everyone describes sounds differently.

To check for a bad bearing just jack the car up and try to rock the wheel back an forth/side to side. If there is ANY free-play whatsoever its a bad bearing.

You should be able to tell if your brake pads have any life left by looking at them...
