85 900 front wheel bearing noise?

I have a front end noise, possibly R/H wheel bearing. The noise is continuous and does not vary when shifting the weight of the vehicle left/right. Increasing of speed, increases the noise. At lower speeds the noise seems consistant with the revolutions of the wheels. I checked the brakes, removed the disc pads and on turning the right hand hub, found that there was a noise but hard to determine if the exact source was from the hub or being transmitted from another area. I have previously replaced the outer cv's, that now have 40,000 kilometres up.
There had been a problem with the right hand front disc brake, being the handbrake adjustment was well above the recommended feeler gauge recommendation, causing the outer disc pad being held on and wearing right down within 20,000 kilometres of replacement. Would this place load on the wheel bearing, causing damage. Left wheel disc pads were down to about half thickness. I am a senior citizen and cannot detect problems as well as I could in my younger years. Would appreciate some comment.
