If it truly is the wheel bearing that has gone bad, the noise will start out small then progressively get louder. On most modern cars the wheel bearing can be driven on until the noise is unbareable to the driver, I have driven a bad wheel bearing for a few hundred miles before having it replaced. Since the make, model, and year of the car is unknown a proper answer is unable to be provided so I am not suggesting to drive the car long distances but usually all that will happen is the noise will grow progressively worse.
i would not drive at all you will cause dammage to spindle which will cost much more to repair and you could lose the entire wheel off the vehicle
