Having your ear wax not removed quickly will not cause permanent tinnitus, that's ridiculous. If tinnitus is caused by ear wax it will be gone after removal.
It is the removal process that can cause permanent tinnitus[1], like ear irrigation done incorrectly, which would be your doctor's fault.
I have 2 different permanent tinnitus caused by improper ear irrigation (one by a nurse and one by myself), one is low freq thumping and one is like crickets. I use some kind of ear wax softener daily hoping I won't develop blockages again and risk more tinnitus.
The whistle noise started two days before cleaning it. After cleaning it started getting worse. Nowadays, it's variable. It goes up and down irregularly.
