Not really, obviously the worse it gets the easier it is to tell which one but its sometimes tricky to tell front from back, much easier to tell left from right.

On a chassis ramp, run the car in gear and the bearing that's failed will allow the wheel to "wobble" easily visible...

By the time it's knocking the brake pads back, it will have trashed the hub...

HTH

Mine made a continuous 'wur wur wur' noise at low speed so it was fairly easy to spot. Cost about £180 to have it done at the dealer I think.
