nothing lasts forvever, but honda wheel bearing are very good,

if your wheel bearing are gone, you car will whine while driving. if they are infact rooted, dont leave em, change em as soon as you can. the last thing you need is your wheel to lock up on the freeway or something like that, also if you get a click from when you take off, or put the hammer down a bit, it could be the CV in the hub creaking. remove the cv from the hub, clean and lube, then retighten the nut that holda the cv to the hub.
