Default bad wheel hub/bearing?

First off Happy New years everyone and hoped everyone had a safe holiday. Ok, I wen to firestone because of weird noises I heard from my suspension such as squeeking noises from the front and popping noises from the rear. Firestone looked at it and said that my front right Wheel Hub was going bad and is making so much noise that it was hard for the tech. to further listen for any other problems with my suspension. Well the question is:

1. if I have a bad hub would I still need to change the bearings also?
2. when ordering a new replacement hub will bearing come with it or do I need to buy bearings?

I tried searching and I mostly saw in the threads how to take the hub off or regreasing the bearings. Thanks guys
