Check the fluid levels of your rear diff also.

check your tyres aren't seperating or have flats spots. Rub your hand along the tyres to see if its all bumpy noisey tyres are sometimes very similar noise to wheel bearings

If you suspect your rear wheel bearings, try gently turning slightly to the left for a few moments and then the right while on the freeway. If the whine gets stronger on one side and not the other, this can often be indicative of wheel bearing wear.
