Wheel bearing life expectancy....

At 110,000+ miles I am detecting a sound which may be the first sign of a bad wheel bearing on right rear wheel. It is still subtle, almost undetectable, so I am uncertain if it is a bearing, noisy tires (Toyo Proxes FZ4's), noisy roads, etc. The sound I hear is not the growling noise I would expect from a failing bearing, but is slightly higher pitched.
I am also starting to get brake squeal from that wheel which wasn't there before yesterday. How many miles are others getting from rear wheel bearings? Am I worrying about a wear component which mostly likely still has half it's life remaining?
Thanks.
