Is it possible to damage human hearing with sufficiently loud pulses above 20Khz?

Most search results point to a miniscule wattage delivered by typical ultrasonic noises, but controlling for wattage, I feel like it might be possible to overdrive a high-frequency pulse to deliver more wattage in the same range.
